OK, I call this guy up to get a price on fixing two rips in my interior.So the guys says come on over I can fix it in no time ...Really hmmm?

So the Repairs begin and he's says pull up a chair and watch?........................
Finished:After pics took him less than an hour to do repairs !

The name of business is , New Life Service Company and his name is, Harold (Nick) Seyfried been in business for 30 yrs..Located in Bethlehem ,Pa. 18018 # is 610-694-0798 Nice guy he said I could put his Phone # out there, so if your looking for a simple repair and located in Eastern Pennsylvania, Allentown/Bethlehem/Easton area he's the guy ! Charged me $125 and gave me a 1 yr warranty....on repairs Also I have those saggy pockets on the bottom of door panel(both sides on car) and He gave me an Idea on how to take the sag out with out having to take door panel apart ?On the top of the pocket there's a piece of gray elastic that runs through the pocket he said to pull the elastic tight witch than will make a bow in elastic from all the stretching over the year, stitch that up with a needle and thread cut of the unwanted elastic and let it slide back under the vinyl pocket to hide and wham" it should look like a tight pocket on door panel again....

Ya not bad considering the price of a new door panel than the labor time to install!The car been like this since I bought it so it was a big improvement...
What he did was put the white gluey paste on and heats it up with that gun and that meshes in with the original vinyl and he put this texture patch over it as it drying to give it that textured looks than he gets this black dye/ink and sprays that over it and done! He said it actually stronger than the original vinyl it self? He hit on the door panel itself with his hand, right where he fixed it to show how strong it is ..... Not sure if it works with leather?

Well I fixed the door panel pockets! Easy enough just pulled the elastic tight stitched it up and slid it back under vinyl looks good and tight again and only took ten minutes a side ! Guys if you got those saggy pockets on your panels this is a simple and must fix! If you look on the picture above where the guy has the heat gun you can see how far it was stretched out before the repair.I just ordered new Door to Body & Hatch Seal Set for the car.I'm running out of things to do it almost done,I might have to get myself A 03/04 cobra to park aside of this one !
