28 Phaeton Upholstery Questions

[J Lambert]

I am installing the upholstery in my 28 Phaeton. The instructions are not very clear.

Are the front edge and top edge of the rear shoulder pads trimmed with hidem?

How far to the rear of the car does the hidem with hidem tips go?

Does the windlace only go from the top of the door opening to the sill plate?

When the top is installed where does the hidem end?

Pictures are worth a thousand words.

Happy to have this wealth of knowledge available.

Many thanks,
James Lambert

I have some picture of various phaetons upholstery. I have a early 29 phaeton that I will be upholstering later this year. It is getting close to the upholstery phase of the restoration. There is hidem used on the top of the shoulder pads, but like you mentioned, pictures are worth a lot of word. If you sent me your email address in a PM, I can send you upholstery pictures of phaetons I have collected.

I have installed the seat covers and front shoulder pads, so I am well on my way to completing the interior. Just those pesky rear shoulder pads. I have looked many places to find pictures of the rear seat without much luck.
Your pictures would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the help,
James
