As most VFX1 owners knows the HMD suffers from the same problem as headliners in old 80s and 90s cars - foam padding deteriorates and disintegrates into black annoying dust, cloth falls off from the foam. Everything smells like old wet carpet. Do any of you guys found a way to fix it? I was thinking about buying a piece of car headliner cutting it into dimension and gluing it back into place - what do you think? I may even bring it to specialized workshop (I'm into vintage cars so I know some of them) so they will do it for me, but maybe there is a better way?

At least on mine, the foam was just held on by sticky velcro pads, so you can rip it out and try different things until you find something you like. I just used the old pad to make a pattern and cut some ~1.5cm thick dark grey padding foam to fit. It sticks to the velcro and does the job.
