Vinal repair kits???
I have a split along the (vinal) edge of my Fire Red seat. Any recommendations for a good vinal/leather repair kit?
TIA, P. |

Re: Vinal repair kits???
It's a combination leather/vinyl.

Re: Vinal repair kits???
I had the typical wear on my drivers side seat bolster. I took the seat out a brought it in to a local upholstery shop. He replaced the worn material in that section, matches perfectly. Mine was the gray interior, don't know about matching the red. I think it cost me $60.00.

I've never had nor seen any success resulting in a long term solution with the repair kits or painting solutions for vinyl or leather repairs.

Paul All those repair kits make for shitty results. Just take the seatback to a professional as stated I think you will be happier with the result. If he declares it (Its dead Jim) I think you will need to look at a new seat cover.

Re: Vinal repair kits???
Thanks, guys! The split is an inch long on the driver's side bolster, near the hinge. It is in fact vinal, but it is hardly noticeable to a blind man on a galloping horse (as an old friend used to say).
 I have been in and around the car for several months, and just now discovered it. Course, now that I know it's there, it bugs me waaaaay out of proportion with the size of the split...[sigh].Well, I guess I'll just pull it and have it done. At some time I may want to replace the leather seat covers - maybe with a two tone set like Jeff's! (They look veeeerrrryyyy kewal, BTW, and he did it himself too!   P. |
