hey i was just wondering if theres any way i can fix a cigarette burn on my seat? or how much it will cost to fix?

lol other then re rap the seat theres nothing you can do..and to re rap isnt exactly cheap...or you can head to the junk yard and pick up another seat but that kinda crazy just for a cig burn

ic would there be any way a autobody would be able to help me out here? or replacing the back seat the only option?

I can't remember, but when you pull up the base of the back seat, is there any overlapping of the fabric? Something that you could cut out a, say, 1 cm by 1 cm piece? If so, try using a razor to cut out the burn and then replace it, possibly sewing it in if you can.

It won't look perfect but will look a lot better than a burn hole. And quit smoking of course.

i dont think the body shop has martha stuart in the back!! haha...really, i would at least call a few junk yards, or check ebay, before i had it re-wrapped or "profesionally' fixed.

o yeah all this happened because i was drunk. i know stupid decision. i was not driving tho i had a dd and when i tried to flick the bud out of my car it went back in and the ash just burned on my cloth seats. i know what i did was wrong but i just want to fix this ASAP

There are companies that specialize in automotive upholstery. Look in your yellow pages under "upholsterers" - I’m seeing three that specifically mention automotive upholstery in my phone book, town of about 100,000.

Or, call the claim adjuster for your auto insurance (call your agent for the name / number) and ask him who they recommend or use.

i just remembered. a friend had a chevy beretta that needed upolstry on the back seat. he ordered some of the fabric from somewere...it was exactly the same as the original. once you get the bench part off, its pretty easy to get the fabric loose. if you can order some new fabric, just take off the old and use it for a template to cut the right size/shape from the new piece. then rewrap the bench and hook the fabric back to the metal things they go on. shouldnt be more than an easy day's work.

take it to your local upolstry shop, they should be able to help you out with oem fabric and fixing it for you
