Default Uh Oh! puncture holes

Really dumb but I put 5 tiny puncture holes in my intereior vinyl, on the side next to the back seat. I must have done it putting on my new convertible boot cover! I've gotten 3 estimates to replace that small area. However, all three are trying to match the color and texture, as they can't get the exact same fabric as the original. The holes are not noticable, so I'm thinking maybe to leave it as is. A different fabric may be a lot more noticable. Does anyone know if original fabric can be gotten? Any thoughts about this would be appreciated! Thanks, mick

Check the yellow pages for the traveling repairs service of paint chip and vinyl repair. Your local dealer can probably give you the name of whom they use.

I had a tear in my coupe rear seat when I purchased it and the dealer had it repair by their guy and I cant even see where the repair was made.

Check this web site for someone in your area.

I`d just dab them with some colour matched paint from Gliptone,the trim will have a colour code and gliptone will match it,then just dab on with a sponge and let the paint fill the holes or fill them first with something else.
Go on liquidleather.com and you will only need the 65ml scuff master.Good people and they will sort you out by e-mail prior to ordering.

Mick can you post a pic to show the area... I have a fabulous interior guy here,,, maybe he can send you the material,,, What is your interior trim colour?

Keep it Leather,,, some will sell you on the fact you can't tell the vinyl from the leather in small area's,,, Don't do that...

Do it Once,,, Do it Right,,, and you will never have any mis-givings...

Thanks for the info! Iwill consider all suggestions. The color is oatmeal, but I'll have to find out how to send a picture, as I'm still living in the 20th Century.....mick
