Door Card Repair in Auckland

Torn vinyl, broken card backing, peeling armrests, faded inserts. Door cards take the most damage in any cabin — and they're cheaper to repair than to replace.

What's involved

Door cards take the most damage in any cabin — elbows, knees, kid feet, dog claws. Once the vinyl tears or the foam compresses, replacements from the dealer (when they're even available) often run several hundred dollars per door. Re-covering and rebuilding the existing card is almost always a better answer.

We can re-cover the upholstered insert, repair broken card backing, reglue peeling armrests, and replace foam where it's sunk. The result fits exactly because we're working with your original card — no aftermarket alignment problems — and matches your existing interior because we colour-match the fabric.

  • Re-cover torn or worn upholstered inserts
  • Repair or replace broken card backing
  • Reglue peeling armrests and refresh sunken foam
  • Match colour and weave to existing interior
  • All four doors can be done at once

Why Jay's

Re-cover beats replace, almost always.

Replacement door cards from the dealer (when they're even available) often run several hundred dollars per door. Re-covering the original card is almost always a better answer — it fits perfectly because we're using your existing backing, and matches your existing interior because we colour-match the fabric and weave to the rest of the cabin.

If the card backing itself is broken, we repair or replace it first, then re-cover. The end result fits and looks right.

  • Cheaper than dealer replacements (when those even exist)
  • Fits perfectly — using your original backing
  • Matches the rest of the interior — colour and weave
  • All four doors can be done at the same visit
