The surface was wrinkled.

It’s behind the seat base.

I sprayed it with a rust preventative.

Add molding to the edges to prevent the sheet from tearing.

Cover with vinyl to prevent water from entering.

It is difficult to stretch the sheet.

It’s dangerous, so put a cap on the screw.

Finally completed.
