My dash has leather badly wrinkled near window. Porsche wants $4800 plus labor for new. Does anyone know if there is better,i.e., cheaper, solution. Thanks

He is a wizard with leather.
Maybe not the most convenient for you, but probably cheaper than the stealer. Or find a well respected local upholsrty shop.

 

What color is it? Just keep your eye on eBay. They show up and tend to sit. I had a black one a couple years ago I ended up selling it for $400.

 

wow $400? Mine is black. Is it a common problem? Year is 2001 Turbo

 

Also, I'm wondering if I need to keep it covered in the sun so it doesn't get worse? I saw one where the leather shrunk and exposed the dash whereas mine just wrinkled badly. the black color may be the problem but it is a common Porsche interior color.

 

I doubt it's common because most people keep their cars garaged. If you can't find one there are people out there that recover them.

 

so far as I know it was always garaged but I suppose one long trip on a hot sunny day summer day might really stress it, but then again on balance they seem to hold up in Arizona and Nevada too?
