Help! Ripped console

[smokey982]

I was hauling a sensitive item the other day and I set it on my console so that I could hold it while I drove. Well that item put a tear in my console. What are my options for repair or replace? At this point I definitely don't want to buy a whole new console. Can the lid be replaced? I'm also wondering if there's some epoxy or glue that I could use? I know the tear would still be visible. But at least it won't spread. What do you guys think?

So I guess the whole assembly will have to be replaced? That's an expensive little tear. It says W/O wireless charger. What is that referring to?

W/o = Without Charger. Depending on the year/model some console lids have built in wireless chargers. I can tell from your photo you do not have a built in charger so order "W/O charger".

That only shows the entire assembly. I think I found just the armrest. I just wonder how easy it is to replace.

I couldn't get the link with just the lid. But it was the closest I could get. Lol

Do a search on "vinyl repair" in your area. There is such a thing as guys who will do all the stools in a bar, etc. Probably pretty spendy for one small job though.

duquephart is thinking the same way as me. I would go to any upholsterer, especially one that operate from home. (they welcome small jobs) A person skilled in the trade will have tricks you never could think of yourself!

Duct tape.

 

But I would also suggest the local upholsterer. They can work wonders. If you have a good relationship with your GM dealership they may even recommend a couple they use. Or a quick Google search works too! I would imagine popping the lid off isn't too difficult, but I have not tried myself.

I have to ask, sensitive item? Secret antidote? Ancient artifact? Are you a transporter?

 

On a serious note I have an extra neoprene cover in Realtree max 5 you can have if you pay shipping. Slips over the center console cover.

I used colorbond lvp on my seat cushion and it worked great. Give it a try from amazon for 15 bones first...

I would agree with checking your local upholstery shop or see about ordering a leather replacement cover from Katzkin or Roadwire.

I've never heard of that. Is that a spray can? I noticed on their website you can put in your VIN number and it will tell you what color to use. Is that what you did?

Let me see if I can post pics. Photobucket broke the internet. Still looks good after 3 months. Just tape off everything.

That looks really good. You can't tell it was ever torn. I'll give it a try.

Thanks.
