how much do you think it'll cost? what needs to be done?



edit:i've only gotten one quote so far and they said about 200. that was to redo the arm rest and the little ripped section on the seat

Maybe you should quit knocking down those Rockst*rs if that's what happens to your interior....kidding. (sorta) Glue isn't the answer and neither is the dealership, try your local upholstery shop to have it fixed the right way. No idea how much it will cost you, one way to find out....ask the upholstery guy.

Not that this helps but my 05 was in AZ until about 6 months ago and the leather is still almost perfect, so somebody simply did not take care of it (bummer) .

A good shop can replace just the bad sections of leather, it can get a little spendy so have a few shops give you a quote and then decide . They can probably even treat the rest of the leather in the car that has not ripped yet and maybe it will last a while longer.

Best of luck,
Jason

What do you reccomend to help care for the leather?


First quote I got was about 200. that was to redo the arm rest and the little ripped section on the seat

Seats I can understand from wear and tear, but how is your arm rest torn up.
