Interior Door Handle Fix

Say, I have a couple of splits in the leather wrap on my door interior door handles. Other than replace them with the wood versions ($$), is there a fix out there for this type of damage?



Thanks in advance!

Arrow Good Idea

That is one option, Hank. I was hoping to get out cheaper with some type of repair, or recovering of the existing ones.

But, since Hank brought it up, anyone with any idea on how much replacements would cost and might they be had from someone other than MB?

The Inside Door Handles are NOT Covered in Leather.. They are Molded vinyl/plastic! You May Want to have them wrapped in Leather...Just remove them and have them wrapped..

I agree I can see on mine that they are white plastic and the Vinyl they used is cheap. I am having mine rapped but originals cost $50 each.
