The guy I purchased my truck from was a smoker and really wreaked havoc on the driver’s seat. There were multiple cigarette burn holes with one of them being quite large (about the size of a dime and pretty deep). I really want some Wet Okole, but don’t want to pony up the cash right now. So, this weekend I decided to try to patch them. Here’s what I did…. 1. Cleaned the wound 2. Shredded some seat cushion foam to fill the odd shape of the cavity. I filled it almost level with the top of the seat. I added some super glue as I was putting the foam in the hole to keep it in place. 3. I cut a small piece of seat fabric from the underside of the middle jumper seat. 4. I trimmed this into a ‘plug’ that fit the burn hole. 5. Once I had it cut to size, I super glued the ‘plug’ into place. 6. I also added a small ring of glue around the edge to prevent fraying. This doesn’t look the best and could probably be achieved another way such as sewing, but it’s not too bad. I think it turned out OK, definitely looks better than the gapping cigarette burn! I also patched a smaller hole using a similar method, just without the additional foam padding. There were a couple other tiny holes that I mended with a couple of stitches. Before: After:
Trucks did something similar. They used a fabric glue tho. He took a razor blade and scraped some fabric off the of seat, then took that and the glue and put it in the hole. You couldn't see where he made the patch.
