door armrest repair?
#3
Thanks to your picture, now I know there's foam underneath that. Anyway, I don't think there is a way to repair that, that will have a good looking and durable result.
What I would do, if I couldn't replace it is: 1) Use something permanent like a marker or dye to colour the underlying foam to match the black. Paints may have solvents that will eat into the foam. This is so that, if any of the foam shows, it won't look as bad. 2) Use rubber cement or other flexible adhesive to stick down the torn flaps. 3) Use cyanoacrylate glue (superglue) to fill the tear gaps. Fill in small layers, as you don't want the glue to cause a bulged line.
If there is a piece missing, you may have to source a matching piece of art leather and cut out a piece to jigsaw in.
