My step by step DIY knee pads

If anyone was curious on how to recover their knee pads I made a video showing you how to do it. This is a pretty easy to do interior mod that you can do yourself. It really makes a difference from the factory plastic. Hope you like it.

The only added tip I'd give is to make sure the material you're using is somewhat stretchy, otherwise you'll get areas that have some crinkles or folds in them around the edges.

The use of a hot glue gun on the backside when you're doing the tucking helps as well.
