Message	be careful you don't overstretch it. You might even find that some inside curves need shrinking. I just re-did my center console lid last night because the hide was too thick and I didn't like the way it looked. I was able to stretch it about 25% bigger by spraying the back very lightly with water and then working a good leather conditioner into the face. Unfortunately, I overstretched it and had to shrink the area around the latch with a heat gun while working the hide back together with my fingers.
