LMC sells covers, you dont even need to pull the old one off to put it on...but I would recommend it.

I refinished mine with vinyl. Cost about 20-25 bucks and about 4 hours of my life...scraping took longer than I expected. I supposed you could achieve similar results by doing it over top of your existing pad but I was trying to get rid of the cancer that I assumed was just oozing out of the old foam

I used spray foam on mine to fill the big cracks. Worked damn good. Just cut out the curled up vinyl, fill with spray foam, and carve it with a fillet knife after it cures.
