NTMD8R_SS Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Whip out the sewing kit or ive seen some stuff to repair tears but i dont know if they worky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tehoatim Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Most auto parts stores carry a vinyl repair kit, usually found around the paint stuff. I've used it for the exact same problem. It doesn't work as well as i would hope to make a perfect repair, but at least it keeps the rip from growing and disguises it a little.

[email protected] Posted December 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Does anyone have pics of their fixes by any chance I am either gonna go to a upholstery shop or that vinyl repair kit just wondering if that looks crappy though.

[email protected] Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Well I went to the upholstery shop and they said about 140 bucks and they just replace that whole panel, instead of a patch. Has anyone else done this is this price pretty reasonable ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimp ss Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 yes its reasonable we charge 125.00 and we do at nleast 2 or 3 a week sometimes more for a big chevy dealer in denton but you know for that price it will just be replaced with vinyl not leather not that any body will be able to tell the difference but the guy who does it im about to replace the outer panel on my drivers side seat but im putting leather back because my old boss will know and mess with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
