Hi everyone,
I have a fairly reasonable car (Nissan) purchased second hand about 4 years ago. Mechanical and electronic functions thankfully have been well maintained and uneventful apart from the usual battery and globe changes. Unfortunately over the years the sun has not been too kind to its interior and, although I do park under cover when at home, sometimes it can't be helped when visiting places.
The rubber on the interior trim is peeling and/or degraded. I have put up some pictures and was wondering if there was a reasonable way to fix this without replacing the pieces? I am open to going to a professional detailer if it's not too expensive but I am unsure if this is even fixable.
May be the OzB community can share experiences or hacks that can help alleviate the situation.
Pic1 : the left side of the stereo.. the perfume thing dripped coupled with the sun to cause this damage. Unfortunately I couldn't catch it before the damage occurred.
Pic2 and Pic3 : Both of the front door hand grips have been gradually peeling. Was pre-existing but has further deteriorated over the years.
Pic4 : Steering Wheel coating partially disappeared. This was also pre-existing but seems to have further deteriorated.
Replace is only option. A wrecker would be my first stop.
