Door Card Repair in West 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.

04 · Service detail

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

"PROFESSIONAL WORKMANSHIP. The whole process was super easy and quick. Thank you so much for restoring my 2007 Audi TT's dignity. No more sag in the roof lining and it looks better than brand new. Highly recommend."
