Stitching on armrest (not center console) - suggestions ?


Recommended Posts

Anyone else experienced this or have any ideas on how to fix ?

I've attached a few photos. The leather/rubber by the armrest on the drivers side door is separating. I have a service appt with Lexus in a few days and will mention it (out of warranty) but was wondering if I could fix myself (if anyone else has experienced this or other stitching separating) maybe with super glue or leather glue. Basically I don't mind if it looks a bit unsightly but I don't want it getting worse. Also considering going to an auto leather panel repair place.

 

Thanks.

Theres quite a few 2nd hand door cards floating about on eBay for about 70 quid maybe consider that option? I'm sure a leather trim specialist could repair but it would be down to your convienience of going there/posting out etc and probably will more or the same cost..

Looks like a DIY repair might be difficult due to its position. I’d be tempted to take the armrest off to see what I could do though. A replacement door card for £70 sounds a decent result too. I think a trim specialist would look to fit new trim, I can’t see how it could be repaired.

Awesome, thanks a lot guys. This forum is great, you always come up with ideas I'd never think of. I had no idea I could buy that on eBay. I looked at the listings but all seem to be LHD and I'm in a RHD country...probably will be harder to find. I think I'll see what a trim specialist thinks seeing that the trim is in very good nick otherwise and I'm not sure if a used part of eBay would be. Will update

jack remove both door switch panels and see if the holes are the same size

if they are then a Lhd panel wouldn't be an issue for you to fit

lets face it the only difference between Lhd & Rhd is the position of items

in the car
