HOLE IN PASSENGER SEAT....OUCH

[EHILL]

My so called best friend put a hole in my passenger seat with a flat head screw driver. He was working on his car and wanted to run down to the auto parts store. We jumped in my M to run down to the store and someone forgot to remove the screw driver from his back pocket OUCH.......

I checked around and a new seat cost over $900

Has anybody done a patch job on these seats?

Ehill,

i never have, but what about taking the car to a upholstry repair shop and get some estimates.

How big is the hole?

That stinks man.......i know you wanna that "friend"

You should be able to get that repaired for much less at an upholstry shop and it will look perfect. I had a Tahoe seat repaired for a couple hundred bucks and you can't tell at all.

I had a T-bird with a cracked dash. I got a vinyl/leather repair kit from an auto store for the dash and it worked great for about 8 bucks. You mixed the colors together to match (it took a couple tries) then it had several textured pieces to put on the patch to make it match the grain of the piece you were patching. It might be worth a shot before dropping $$$ for a repair or replacement. Good luck and sorry for the misfortune, it happens though.
