interior trim

My trim panels with armrests that cover the quarter panels on a two door are distorted from getting damp, Does anyone know the best way they can be straightened and by what method. Would soaking them in water, pressing them flat and allowing them to dry out work, has anyone got a good method that they have used that works
Regards Ian<br>

yes what you have said will straighten the harboard backing

but keep them cramped straight until absolutely dry
and dry out naturally if possible

You need some food an that leather asap. Check out Woolies website for some hide food, reconditioner and polish. You can probably just about save them if you act quickly....

Do you have a web address for woolies and the leather has a few tears in it so will need reinforcing on the inside as every time i sit in the seat i fear it will tear more it has the strength of tissue paper
