This truck started as a "fleet truck", and they must have installed a mount / equipment of some sort on the floor between the front seats. Now there is a cutout where it used to be.

Question: What can I use to to repair this?

Also, the answer to this question is not "duct-tape" or something else equally silly. Thank you.

Looking at the picture, is it completely cut out, or just rolled back?

Gossamer

Just rolled back

Looked into vinyl patches?

SCORGE

I'd say patch or maybe some type of adhesive/bonding agent.
That....or...replace the whole section

Such as?.... Do you have any suggestions of ones you have worked with?

I have never worked with any.
My first thought was a hot glue gun, but IDK how that would turn out.

I also thought of using that stuff that uses UV light to bond. I think it might work, but again I was looking for someone who has done something similar. Best case is they have pictures of before & after.

Well, I've no experience doing it myself. Just throwing some things out there that I would try. We've got peeps who are great detailers, inside and out. Maybe they'll chime in.

I'd replace the whole piece. And that's not an FX4.

Neither have I. I was just suggesting.

Maybe some black permatex?
