Seat repair.
Ok, this morning I noticed the beginning of a rip on my driver seat. I have an '07 328xi coupe. I believe it has the leatherette finish. The crease is about 3 inches long on the lower bolster (side). Anyway, does anyone know of a cheap way to fix this problem? It hasn't ripped right through yet, but eventually it's going to.
Any thoughts? ![]() ![]() |

Seat repairs
Holes or Tears can be repaired by cleaning any rough or frayed edges and then placing a sub-patch of backing material that is larger than the hole must then be secured in place by means of a sub-patch and adhesive to give the leather patch something to anchor to. Before you insert the backing piece cover it with adhesive, allow the adhesive to become tacky.
Take a piece of circular leather cut to a half inch larger all round than hole and hold it in place with adhesive applied to the sub-patch backing piece. Pro Stick 65™ Hi-Strength- spray adhesive for bonding foams, carpet and upholstery |
