Forgot the photos 

You're welcome.

On mine, the boot is really tight on the ends where the foam covers the ends of the frame, and I doubt I'd get all of the snaps to snap if the foam was thicker.  Yours may be different.  I can say that the 1/2" thickness seems completely adequate to protect the boot.  I don't know if it would hold up well to someone sitting on it though.  If that's in your plans a heavy, flexible plastic sheet inside the foam might be needed to keep the pointy parts of the top frame from poking through the foam.

Good job!  Glad I could help.

That turned out really nice.

I believe the white thin fabric…looks like the material used on underside of furniture like a couch or box spring for a bed.

The material allows the pieces to slide over each other to prevent damage and rolling/tipping the foam.
Also allows foam to breathe and not trap moisture.

I have seen similar material (heavy duty) used to create cheap hardware bags for new equipment just sewn and a zip tied shut.

I was tinkering with the thought of using some weed barrier cloth that I have left over from a yard project. It is breathable and tough. I only plan on using the foam covers when I have the top down, which is only for the day, and not long term. The 65 is garaged most of the time and I leave the top up so as not to get a "set" in the fabric and also keep creases from forming in the soft plastic back window.

I was taught that before putting the top down, you unzip the window and lay it in the well without folds.  I normally do that after I've unlatched but before it's fullly retracted.  I put a large terry towel over the plastic window once it's in the well to help prevent abrasions from the top fabric.  When you raise the top, you zip the window back in before latching the top back down at the front.
