Gregors 10 Posted March 11, 2014 On my green storm the rear door cards are starting to tear at the screws holding the door card down towards the driver and passenger door. On mine they're normal screws which have led to the leather tearing. Are they the right screws or should there be bigger (flatter) screws that don't tear the leather? Hope you understand this any help would be great!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rams 0 Posted March 11, 2014 They are flat heads and quite long from memory. Can you upload a picture? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rams 0 Posted March 11, 2014 That's the correct screw. Maybe it's been over tightened and hasn't allowed for the expansion/contraction during temperature changes. Occasionally when people remove them they can stab the screw driver into the leather by mistake.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gregors 10 Posted March 11, 2014 Yeah I agree drives me mad how interiors are taken apart then just put back together with no care!!! Might have to find a way of hiding and preserving this if you've any ideas!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rams 0 Posted March 11, 2014 If you could find some cream leather, cut a piece out and glue it and hopefully shouldn't look obvious as the screw will hold it in place. Or take it to a trimmer to repair. Have you got the little screw head insert? Should be cream coloured which will also detract the eye Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gregors 10 Posted March 11, 2014 I do know the inserts you're on about. Might get it retrimmed as I know it's there now. Anyway really appreciate your reply and I'll probably need your expertise in the future if you don't mind. Top man and thanks again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rams 0 Posted March 11, 2014 I know a good trimmer but based over this way in Bournemouth. Can PM you his number if you like. Just shout if you do. You are welcome Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gregors 10 Posted March 11, 2014 Thanks rams will do Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sankysvr6 0 Posted March 12, 2014 Is the leather still there around the screw, as in is the material still flapping about? If it is, i would be tempted to take the screw out and lift leather slightly and stick it back down with some super glue. I think this will take your eye away from it, unless its a full on show car.
