Need to get my Valiant arm rests restored

Check in your local yellow pages for a vinyl repair technician. Around here they're called Dr. Vinyl who knows what they go by where you are. They can repair cracks and re-dye them, usually on the spot. They do all sorts of repairs for the local dealerships and I GUARANTEE you the dealerships aren't paying that kind of $$$. My buddy had several cracks repaired in his dash and the guy charged him $50.
