None, there was originally sponge foam padding behind it, now turned to dust. The only thing you can do is what you don't want to do - very carefully remove the Rexine and re-pad it. It's not particularly difficult, just time-consuming.
A hairdryer to soften the glue (I think it was Evostik or similar), an old bank card or something non-metallic to lift the Rexine away from the wood trying to get it off in one piece. I have had to use solvent on a couple of occasions on particularly well stuck done areas. You'll also need some clamps to hold the Rexine in place while it dries.
Slowly is the key word here and use no great force or anything sharp else it will go through the Rexine. It's tough stuff but it can rip, pay particular care around the corners.
For re-padding I've used the foam off a cheap iron board cover, the filter sheet for oven extractors or there's some car headlining stuff you can get.
