Posted May 29, 200915 yr comment_285005 Unfortunately, the PO of my Z riveted a St. Christopher medallion to an otherwise perfect, original dash. So it's secured with two 1/8" rivets just above the glovebox, and I really want to remove it. But I'm afraid that I may do more damage removing the medallion and repairing the holes. I read a few posts about repairing cracks, but not something as minor as a 1/8" hole. I think if I could safely remove the rivets, I could probably repair the 1/8" holes with a black sealant/caulking of some kind. Am I crazy for trying it? Maybe I should just leave the medallion even though I think it looks like s**t? Any thoughts before I try it?

I used a kit like this but had a iron to heat the texturing material. The one below is probably all you will need for what you are doing. http://www.amazon.com/Liquid-Leather-Vinyl-Fabric-Repair/dp/B000SR12C0 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/32011-repairing-rivet-holes-in-my-dash/#findComment-285010 Share on other sites More sharing options...
