On my center arm rest the bead trim had a crack. I managed to use super glue and fixed it. That repair is holding well but now I have new crack on the bead. I suspect that as I repair it another new crack will apprear. I assume this is because the vinyl bead is getting hard and is no longer flexible. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can use to soften up the bead to prevent further cracking? Thanks.
