Leather Patch

Hello,

We have a 2016 RX 350 with the Parchment Leather interior. A while ago the center hand rest started developing a tear in the leather where the elbows rest. This is getting worse with time and i'm looking to see if anyone found a suitable patch that matches this color or any alternate solutions to address this.

None of the part numbers show parchment as a colour but the upper console cover is about $150 online.

Try a local car upholstery shop first.

eBay has knock offs with vinyl for $30

For $30 I'd roll the dice.

Are you sure the material is actually "Leather" and not "Nu-Lux"?

Might be leather from the hide of those rare Nauga. They were once plentiful, but were driven to near-extinction when countless diners (and Kustom guitar amplifiers) began using them.
