punctured hole into door sill of my car - need help fixing it

[max105]

I was moving some desks the other day in my car and somehow (due to my carelessness), I manage to get a corner of the desk to puncture a hole into the interior side of my passenger door. The passenger door is lined by some leather/vinyl material. I'm pretty anal about keeping my car in really good condition, even if it is just a little hole. I was wondering if anybody here has any idea how I can fix and patch up that hole so it looks like new again. I thought about getting some leather patching stuff, but I don't know how well that works to begin with, less how well it'll work on interior car surfaces. Thanks...hopefully someone's done something to their car like me and know how to fix it.

patching will not make it look like new. My dad is an auto upholsterer and it isnt very cheap. First off, is it leather or vinyl? Either way, you should replace the damaged fabric. He repaired a tear in my seat in about 30 min. We took out the seat, he took off all of the foam and material and worked from there. It looks good as new now.

maybe you wanna splurge on a whole new door card? thats the only way its gonna look perfect, I think

ooOOoo...i have fabric lining on the interior of my roof in my explorer and i ripped a small corner leaving a "L-like" cut in the fabric. Any way to patch this?

the interior side of the door where the hole is seems to be made of vinyl. the thing is that part of the vinyl where the hole is got folded into the door so that the hole sorta sticks out like a teepee. I've been trying to find something small enough that I can use to pry out the folded section of the vinyl but without furthering any damage. Anyways, is there any chance that I can somehow fix this hole....its about the diameter of a Q-tip stem (not the cotton schwab ends)
