How to Repair Burns and Holes on Leather and Vinyl with Coconix

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Seat

Video tutorial

What you need to repair tears or burns on a leather or vinyl seat is a Coconix Kit, which can be found on Amazon with code B07QVFFV5P at a price of £14.99. Everything you need for the repair is included in the package; you will only need a craft knife: trim the frayed edges, and clean the area thoroughly to degrease it. Cut a piece of backing fabric, wider than the hole, round the corners to prevent them from lifting, and insert it into the hole.

Mix the colours to achieve the closest shade to the original: apply a first layer under the edges and around the hole, pushing it with a spatula, then fill the hole with the coloured compound.

Wait for the second layer to be almost dry and press down on a piece of film to reconstruct the texture. Allow it to dry overnight and polish the edges with denatured alcohol.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
