If its not too expensive I would just buy a new one from the dealer.
what is it called: pleather, vinyl, etc
How dare you. Toyota uses only the finest hand-tanned wildebeest calf leather in the 4runner.
If you look at the link I posted they have two sets of prices - console with leather and without.Side note: the entire "leather" interior is plastic in the 4Runner isn't it? I've always assumed it was, does anyone truly know?
What would the cost of a new console top from a salvage yard be? There are those leather repair kits that are advertised on TV. The ones where you spread on some stuff and cover with a film. Then pull the film off for a seemless repair that is color matched. Don't know how well they work though.
They used to use naughahyde but all the naugha's are extinct
