Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I had a similar "error" in my other car and a good upholstery guy (who does reconditioning for dealerships) fixed it up for $20 cash money.

Upon getting into the car on a rainy day, I carelessly tossed my umbrella into the passenger side. The metal tip hit the dash console there and created the divot seen in the photo. Frick, frick and double frack! Any suggestions on the best way to fix this? Default is duct tape.
I'd take it to an upholstery shop. They might be able to fix it.
A red neck way would be duck tape haha.. Another red neck way would be to bend the leather back, put a drop of glue on the back then press back into place. I think you would still see the joint though. The only correct way would be an upolsterer on the job.
I had a similar "error" in my other car and a good upholstery guy (who does reconditioning for dealerships) fixed it up for $20 cash money. Can't even tell where it was now. Or - you could just consider it part of your car's "character".
With the proper glue, sand and color match it should almost disappear. Take it to your local upholstery guy and see what they say.
Leather or vinyl? You would be amazed at what the services that touch up car interiors and exteriors for dealer can do.
Umbrella? Rain?
I say old chap that brolly made a spiffing good job of that dash board. Yikes haha
Ok guys, that's one for duct tape, one for glue and three for upholsterer...off I go. Will report. Thanks all. TC
