Sews great with the heavy thread, just having a wee bit of trouble getting the tension right.
I've run the top tension up to setting 6 and backed the bobbin case tension out 1/2 turn.

Here is a pic of where I have it now. Two layers of this vinyl is roughly 2/3rds the thickness of the OEM splash shield. So when done it will work. Top strip is the top thread and the bottom is the bobbin thread.
