...real bad. I was getting out and a rivet in the back of my jeans must have grabbed a string in the fabric somehow. Anyways, I've got three inches of string hanging out of my seat, right at the front of it, and you can see the pull as well. Anyone know of a way to make this like new again? I don't want to just cut it or push it back in.

 

You know when you want to pull your shoelaces real tight, but only the top two holes are taught, and you have to go up the whole shoe from the bottom making each one tight? Try something along those lines

 

Miyagi would be proud of those zen-like instructions...

haha, awesome pic. don't cut it, that makes a hole. ask me how i know. Although i'm getting it fix0red under warranty, so that's nice. try tucking it back in, then say "what's with your seat" to acura, see if they'll get you a new cushion.

 

I agree... cutting it can make a hole. But what I did was cut it a little bit long. Like half a centimeter. Then take a lighter and burn it down. Make sure you don't burn the other thread in the seat because i bet you'd have a flat mush of thread. I know it sounds like you would just have a hard burnt ball there but it worked for me and I can't even find the place that I did it now.
PS - this girl snagged my passenger side just the other day so i have to do it again

 

Thanks for the help. I'll try the dealer method.

 

youd be surprised how talented Auto upholsters are, this happened to my seat but i let it go and had to replace a section of the cloth. when h was done w/ my seat it looed new. cost me $90

 

can't you unzip it from the backside of the seat and then repair it with the karate kid method?

try that, they unzip and come right off actually.. seatcovers that is...

 

unzip and zip you fly????

Its like knowing when to go?

hahha....dat was stupid... just wanted to post dis!

Ignore me!

 

Hey Dr Pooface...

Try the guy's who do vynal repairs... then buy seatcovers...heh heh


" Dammit Jim... I'm a doctor... not a vynal repair guy..."

 

It's spelled vinyl.
sorry

It would be logical to spell it that way, captain...

the karate kid ya! i have the movie! that kumiko girl in that movie.. forgot her real name, shes a hottie!

 

Update: Dealer is replacing the seat. I'm buying ooogly-*** seat covers.

 

seat covers WILL DAMAGE your seats,the seam inside the seat cover beds itself into the seats (ask me how i know) i use xxl black t-shirts (no lie) and my front seats look new.
