    Cheap easy fix...

    I have used red touch up paint on both my steering wheel and seats to repair wear. IMO the imperfections make the VX look even more rugged. I have a spare drivers seat. Got it back in the days when I was insane about keeping every little detail of my VX in "like New" condition. Like I said I just paint the wear marks now, I barely notice a difference.

    I took it to the Auto Interior place here in Raleigh that was highly recommended by a couple of my friends that restore cars and the guy there wanted to replace the whole grey panel.

    Going to search for some vinyl repair places... maybe hitup the advance auto parts store for a touchup kit.

    Maugan - check the phone book for M.A.R.S. and Tidy Car franchises - I've had experience with these guys, and their systems work.

    New VX owner and just had my seats repaired. Call the top detail shops in area as they always have good vendors on stand by. I had 2 large scratches repaired, one on each seat, plus a dash repair for glue (or something) removal. Charged $85.00 and did a BEAUTIFUL job...can't even see where they were, and they were deeper than yours. Good luck!

    P.S. Look for leather repair people for furniture. I watched the guy and what they do is use special glue to fill and secure, then they sand to make smooth, and then dye the fabric. Same procedure as for furniture.

    I wonder if something like this would work:

    http://leatherrepairkits.com/

    Their website is very convincing, i wonder if anyone here has ever used it. On the flip side, the kit cost fifty bucks
