My last TJ had faded covers also, I took them off and soaked and cleaned them really well, I then painted them with fabric paint. They came out nice and held up great.
Has anyone removed the rollbar padding?

I thought about that also but I don't like when the fabric gets stiff/rough. I had a winch cover at one point that I painted and it got really rough.

Go to craigslist and buy some used one. They are way cheaper than the replacements from the websites.

I stumbled across this thread. I added my jeep to the list of no padding. I think it looks much better.
Especially on red jeeps like @lowranger 's

For fun I pulled back my pads yesterday. She's a pretty, pretty red under there. I'm going to take off the padding and figure out how to hide the wire to the sound bar this week hopefully!
Was the seat belt torx screw tough to get out?

Recently took my roll bar pads off, and I have to say I do like the look. I'm actually thinking I may get the bars line-x'd now along with the cargo area. We'll see.
Took mine off and found the lazy S.O.B.'s didn't paint mine either. The only issue is all the brackets stick way out due to those foam parts under the covers. I would gladly cut off all the rear parts, but the next owner (probably my brother after I die) might want to have the rear seat back in. Then he'd have a heck of a time putting in the seat belts again.

I'm too tall to remove my padding. If I hit anything on the trail that I'm not expecting, it'll be lights out for sure.
