I have had a Mag Lite mounted between my seat and the door sill on my truck for quite some time. I would like to do away with the mounting brackets, because I'm not interested in purchasing any more clips to replace broken ones. I've already done that several times.

I also just don't want it there anymore. I'd rather just put it in the toolbox.

I would like to know how to go about repairing the 4 small screw holes in the floor covering. Does anyone know how to do that?

Also, Does anyone know of a good place in Central Texas that could do it for a reasonable price?

 

What about just using some THICK glue....Like rubber cement, etc, to just put a drop in each hole...?

 

I have thought about various things like that. I want an invisible repair, or as close to that as possible. I have heard about the dash board repair guys. I wonder what they could do with this. I've never dealt with that type of repair and don't know how well it works. I also thought there might be some way to achieve that as a DIY project.

 

Has anyone heard of or had work done by these guys at Fibrenew?

Fibrenew - The Experts in Leather Repair, Vinyl and Plastic Restoration

 

Does anyone else have any ideas?

 

Get some SEM trim paint, the same color as the floor, and mix it with some vinyl glue and put it in the holes.

 

Buy a new floor mat

 

^ this...if some small holes are that important, just spring for a new mat.

 

fill holes with loctite epoxy and spary maint to match with SEM or kolor bond paint

 

I would but can't find a new one. They are discontinued. Also the last list price was 350 bucks.

This one was replaced back about 5 or so years ago its in prefect shape except the little holes from the clips.

 

I've considered the vinyl glue and paint. I just don't know how it will turn out, or if it will hold up. Has anyone done that?

 

well seeing it isnt a show truck. it doesnt have to be perfect and the glue and vinyl paint will work just fine

 

go to a local paint store. Tons of good shops in TX that will help you

 

RTV silicone.

 

There are vinyl seat repair kits that could do it, they are supposed to hold up pretty well. Even come with a little texture swatch to press in the texture.
