Can this be patched?

brabusbrad · 10-17-2014, 09:50 PM

So I don't know how this happened but a patch of my leatherette backseat was ripped clean off and you can see the white cloth material underneath it. Is there a way to fix this? I live in the GTA and was wondering if anyone could recommend me a shop?

Thanks,
Brad

I have not personally used these two companies, but they do that sort of work.

I had a rip in my beige leatherette and fibrenew quoted me $440 to fix. I paid $100 to some vinyl repair company to use the vinyl patch and it didn't hold up, started peeling and now looks like crap. Fibrenew will take the seat off and sew a new one in. I'd suggest going that route or something similar. Id like to also mention my rip was in the same spot as you.

Thank everyone for the feedback. I will go visit the shops you recommended and see how much they quote me.

canadian tire sells a kit, maybe its enough

I bought one to glue a crack, hope it works

Yeah I was looking at what Canadian Tire has to offer to see if I can do anything. I'm not entirely picky because the car is 9 years old, I just don't want it to get worse.
