Repair this interior panel?

dman918 · 05-22-2016, 08:34 PM

Hello all,

I have no idea how this happened, but something must have snagged on my door panel and caused this damage. Is there anything I can do to clean it up and at least make it look better? I really don't want to get a new door panel, if possible. Even if it isn't 100%, I'm open to ideas to clean it up.

Thanks!

Mike

I've got a similar ding on mine, although not quite as bad as yours. I think my wife caught it with one of her shoes.

Any tips on repairing this would be great!

My wife had to have the radio/nav head unit replaced in her new Santa Fe and they damaged the dash in the process...put a gouge in it.

They brought someone in who filled the vinyl and added the texture to match. You can't tell where the damage was.

Maybe find someone who does that type of repair work and they should be able to take care of that.
