Repairing Worn Fabric Upholstery

Model: (Various brands) Various

To regenerate your car's upholstery, you can follow this method without needing to ask for help from a professional. Trim the area with sharp scissors and then peel off the glued rubber from inside the fabric. Cut a piece of fabric to the size needed to cover the hole completely, and insert it inside, stretching it carefully, then apply specific glue. After that, cover the fabric with a cloth and dry it, preferably with an iron. Now all that’s left is to cover the hole with appropriate paint, taking care to choose a shade as similar as possible to the upholstery to avoid making the colour mismatch visible.
