How to Repair Seat Upholstery

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Seat

It often happens that the upholstery of the seats gets damaged, especially due to a burn from a cigarette. In this case, rather than calling in an upholsterer, you can use a repair technique applicable to all fabric colours. Start by removing the frayed part of the fabric inside the hole with a small pair of scissors. Cut a piece of suitable fabric to insert into the hole and then fix it with special glue, allowing it to dry with the heat from an iron. Next, prepare a mixture of coloured powder to apply to the new fabric until the repair is uniform, optionally spraying a bit on the surrounding fabric.
