So my recently purchased an used IS350 f-sport. And later I found out that there was a small circular shaped rip in the backseat door vinyl. I'm attaching pictures here.
I am wondering if there's an easy DYI way to fix this? I looked online and there was 3M vinyl&leather repair kit that may be able to fix this. ( )
However, I'm not certain if I will be able to to get this cleaned without it being noticeable. Such as the color and the texture etc.

Does anyone have advice on what I should do to get this repaired? I prefer to save some money if I can do it DYI, and how much would a professional charge for this?
Thanks!

A used door panel would likely be around the same price if not cheaper than a pro repair. if it were me i'd buy the kit and try my best. or i'd just paint the inside with a black marker. it's the back door, not a big deal. it will never be perfect with the patch kit. if it bugs you that much, just get a used panel. much easier to replace a panel too than to start jerking with all those supplies.

About $240 shipped for a new panel. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2014-2015-2...sid=m570.l1313

Wow, never thought of getting a new door panel. and yea I guess it's not a big deal if I can't patch it completely. I will either just superglue the ripped part back or use the repair kit when I have time. Thanks!

If all fail, vinyl wrap it with whatever color/design (available) you want.
You just have to do all 4 doors.
