So I made an attempt to soften the door hinge. This is the first run and I will sit on it and see how I like it before I do the rest. I started with some 1/8 inch closed cell foam with sticky on one side, put down 2 layers

Then I wrapped it with a layer of upholstery stuff I had laying around and secured at both ends with Zip Ties. Not show car quality, but I do have some left over leather that I could use and look a bit better
