Default Del sol seats

I bought myself a couple of del sol seats, mint condition.
The only problem I have is on the driver side seat, some of the fabric had come off the seat and is not sticking back onto the seat.
Anyway to fix this???

The fabric had come loose of the material it's suppose to stick to (the seat)
Would adhesive work?

Doesn't have anything to do with this though.

Part of my drivers side seat is like that as well. Doesn't really hurt anything if you're not worried about it. The only problem with pulling it off and resticking it is that the rest of the material is really stuck to the foam of the seat.

I'd just leave it.

You could stick a few pins in it, like the ones you use for sewing. Might be ghetto but it works and noone can really notice, get the black top ones.

TTT

Any other input? The more I sit in it and get in and out of the car, it seems like it's getting worse

the only way that I could think of doing it w/o screwing up the other areas would be to use a razor & slice a small line so that you can lift up that portion, then spray some adhesive down & readhere the material. The only problem w/ that is that you would have a small cut in the cloth, but if done right, it may look good. I'd just leave it as is personally, or save up & get them reupolstered.

I thought that I could spray adhesive on the outside of the fabric and let it stick to the foam on the other side, I guess that wouldn't work

If you're willing to douse it enough that it seeps through you don't think that you'll stick to it everytime you go to sit in the seat?

You would stick to the seat, or dust/debris would get stuck in it & make it look horrible.

I have the same problem. I think its just the way the cloth ones are, I wouldnt mess with it cause it will probably look 10x worse when you "fix" it.
