WOW... this is the first I've heard of this. We offer professional installation ($35) as well as a "core" program where we can send out a completed unit and you send yours back for a refund of a deposit. There are self installation instructions posted on the same page you purchased them from where you can see how the foam is installed (it is glued down and trimmed). You can access them here
Installation Instructions
We have sold over a thousand of these w/o any comments like yours. Please give us an opportunity to make things right prior to slamming a perfectly good product. I want to make you happy, if possible. I'd encourage you to send your lid to us for a professional install, I know you will be happy. Let me know what we can do...

The vendor also offers foam for "added" padding. Don't bother with this. For an additional $5 you get a large piece of foam without any obvious shape for mounting (you get neither instructions nor diagrams). Worse, you will find it totally impossible to mount the leather cover with the padding unless you are an experienced upholsterer. You may even risk tearing the cover seams in the process.
$165 later, now I have a rippled leather armrest, two large pieces of foam, and another leather cover still in its bag. I will have to take all this to a upholsterer for a professional fit and look --for additional cost, of course.
