I'd try scraping first, followed by the usual water, heat, steam, and high explosive progression as necessary. Muttering helps. For a durable good looking replacement, I'd use leather. Option two - ultra suede from a fabric store. I know, it comes down to how much time you can spend chasing down the material for the number of $$$ you can charge for the job. Either of these suggestions might prove to be easier than finding an appropriate strip of felt. Ron N
