Default Repairing seat fabric?

Something got caught on the tweed material of my passenger seat...Anyone know how to fix it? Do I just leave it or just cut the pulled fabric portion out??? Thanks!

If you could get at it fron the under side just rub it a bit and it will go back in

DON'T Pull it it will just make it bigger.

you have a pic of how bad it is?

my cat used my jdm recaros as a scratching post and I had a few threads pulled out loose from the seat material.

after fighting the urge to wring the cat's neck, I gently pushed/pulled the threads back into the weave. as long as there are no broken threads, you can fix the seat to looking pretty much like new. I can't even tell there had been any threads yanked, but yours may not be quite the same circumstance.

a pic would really help in helping you find the best method to fix the problem.

Thanks guys for the advice! I fixed it by just rubbing into place. Almost looks good as new. I can still see it but it's not as noticeable as before.
