Facia vinyl
« on: 06 March 2010, 20:13:20 »

The previous owner of my facelift CD must have had something adhesive stuck to the facia, just below the digital display. The result is the vinyl has split and looks a bit of a mess. Was wondering if anyone had heard of a product that could repair this or even if someone may, by off-chance have a piece of this stuff from a stripped car, maybe 2" X 1".
The colour is grey.

Worth a try.  :P

I'm sure I've heard of companies who do mobile trim repairs (sorta like dent wizard for trim).  Try a google search mate.

I sympathise completely but I've yet to see a good DIY repair of damage like you've described.

I guess you're right, I'll get a quote and see if the bank balance can stand it.  :-/

You may be best posting a pic of the split up for some advice?

Bu depending on how big the split is, some silicone sealter in the same colour may do the trick?

Cheers Damon, if I could get a colour match I think the sealant would do the trick, or at least diguise it enough anyway. By the way, nice to hear from Wigan, I'm 8 miles away in Skem.  :y
