I was surprised how easy it was to work the plastic, a bit of heat in the right spot and I was able to work it back pretty much to the original shape. I'm going to make sure I don't tighten them too much when they get put back on, hopefully they won't distort again.
They are actually dark gray, and pretty close to the original colour. The original colour, at least 71 years later, has more brown undertones. My interior is a combination of dark and light gray.

Nicely done. Looks like you were able to get the plastic straightened out too. Mine was extremely brittle so I had to try not to mess with it at all besides polishing all the oxidation off.
The vinyl really turned out nice. Was it originally black?
