I cut out all my vinyl pieces for both sides, making them a little larger than the original. Better to have too much than not enough.
Installing the the reverse order that I took it apart, I start with the rear top panel.
It takes some trial and error to figure out exactly where to staple the next piece. You want it tight up against the foam from the previous panel, and when you flip it over, you want it running parallel to the board with enough slack on each side to staple.
After you get the piece of vinyl stapled, but the next piece of foam up to it. I used contact adhesive to stretch the foam back to the original length and hold it in place.
Now you're ready to stretch and staple.
