    It is surrounded by leather covered trims but the cloth appears to be bonded to the soft foam.

    If there is a small gap under the adjacent trim. It can be carefully removed and repaired. There are even companies that can do this at home. Googles your friend.
    If it takes more access. Its still achievable you need to remove the surrounding trim.
    Hint buy new clips . Sadly Ferrari clips are unique believe me ive looked, there 9mm fur tree

    Oh... That's unfortunate. Yeah definitely better to buy a new one rather than repair.

    I enjoy finding the origins parts and the clips in question are just one , they weren't expensive from Ferrari but I still recon the size they quote of 8mm is more like 9mm good luch with the hunt, Please let me know as the 456 550 575 has parts cross reference.
