Hi
recently a careless passenger accidentally managed to get a inch long slice on my lovely almost one off upholstery. It’s literally like a knife has cut it.
Does anyone have any solutions for a repair before it gets worse ?
thanks.

There are professional vinyl and leather repair people that can restore some big problems a fee for on sight service might warrant dragging your boat to them. Short of that I’d leave it alone unless it’s growing stitching it’s risky the crapshoot vinyl kits you find on line harden up and the vinyl usually breaks out around them worse than the cut ever will.

Thanks for responding. I’m sure you are probably correct. I should probably do just that. There is also some stitching coming apart too.
Thanks.

Check with your local larger car dealerships........ there are independent contractors that visit and do those repairs for a living.
