Default Interior Hole

Leaving work, saw this on the door. Car is parked outside in Florida sun. Anyone seen anything like this before?

Never tried repairing a puncture like that, but you could probably use Shoe Goo to make a "bondo" patch for it.

the material is soft, you could heat it with a hair dryer (keep the dryer moving DO NOT focus on a single spot) and massage it out most likely.. I've done that to dash boards and leather seats. ..


don't use anything sharp, best bet is a friend moving the dry around and your hands in gloves massaging it..

Google auto vinyl repair in your area..Most dealers and body shops use these guys to dress up damaged interiors. Maybe get a reference from one of them?

Good luck~

I've used Permatex vinyl repair kit with great success. It has the main colors of paste so you can blend to the right match. It also has texture stencils to mimic the pattern. I repaired my leather couch a couple years ago and recently a small tear on my IS' steering wheel and looks as close to new as you can get.

15$ and 30 mins of your time and you're done.

I found a similar (somewhat larger) damaged area on my passenger door after service at the Lexus store. They had their contract vinyl person repair it. Several years later, the repair is invisible.
