Order some new tires for the SC430 (General Altimax RT43's) and while inspecting the car I noticed a bubble on my convertible flap similar to the one below:

Would an upholstery shop be able to fix this? Ty
its an easy fix...just a little glue dispensed from a small needle...
Called the “package tray” an air bubble has formed under the leather where gasses gathered. I had this same problem. A small imperceptible puncture will allow the air/gasses to escape allowing the leather to return to the original position.
DON'T USE GLUE!!! Poke a small hole in the middle and use a hair dryer to warm up the entire area, then just work the bubble out. There is a youtube video if you do a search for air bubble on vinyl dashboard.

It sounds easy enough however this would be my first time doing such thing. Will look at a professional and see what they can offer and gaurentee.

Ah VVTiBob, its good to have feedback from you. How was your results? This is usually a spot that gets no attention but once the top is down, it is visible.

why do bubbles show up after 10 years?
what holds the material in place when they build the package tray?
guess I made a mistake five years ago when I fixed mine... https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc4...back-dash.html

My result? You’d never know there was an issue ever there. Had the top down with package tray in the sun for a short period (less than 10 minutes). Made a tiny, imperceptible puncture. Worked the air out, and voilà, problem fixed and has never returned.
