Coconix Leather and Vinyl Repair Kit

Rubbing Alcohol

Cotton balls or cotton wadding (if padding is missing)

Scissors or utility knife (if necessary)

Plastic Wrap (for adding texture)

Step 1

Preparing the Damaged Area

Carefully trim any excess threads, jagged bits, or burn marks from the crack on your vinyl car door panel.
Cut off any charred material if necessary.

Step 2

Cleaning the Area

Clean the area around the crack on your vinyl car door panel with rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab.
Make sure to test it on a hidden area first. If alcohol is harsh for your material, you may use warm, soapy water or your usual leather or vinyl cleaner.

Step 3

Mixing the Repair Compound

If your repair requires a custom color, refer to the Color Mixing Guide in the kit to match the color and prepare the mixture using the empty mixing jar provided.

Step 4

Applying the Repair Compound

Apply the repair compound to the crack on your vinyl car door panel.
Start by applying it under and along the edges and work from the outside toward the center.
Use the spatula for larger applications and the brush for surface applications and detail touch-ups.

Step 5

Drying and Additional Layers

Allow several hours for the repair compound to dry until it is no longer sticky to the touch on your vinyl car door panel.
Once dry, apply additional layers until the repaired area is level with the rest of the area.

Step 6

Adding Texture

Once the repair compound is semi-dry, tear off a slightly larger piece of plastic wrap.
Press it against the semi-dry final layer of the repair compound.
When you lift your hand off, the area will be slightly textured.
Repeat this process until you've achieved the desired texture. Adding texture will help the repaired section to blend with the rest of the vinyl.

Step 7

Finishing Touches

After the repair compound has dried, use a cotton pad or cotton swab and rubbing alcohol to buff out the edges of the repair on your vinyl car door panel.

Step 8

Maintenance

Avoid exposing the repaired area to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for long periods of time.
Clean the repaired area with a damp cloth or mild soap and water regularly to remove dust and dirt.
Keep an eye on the repaired area and reapply the repair compound if necessary.
Use UV protectant sprays or car covers to protect your car's interior from harmful UV rays that can cause the vinyl to crack or fade over time.
Consider keeping the Coconix Leather and Vinyl Repair Kit in your car's trunk or glove box for quick touch-ups or emergency repairs.
