Upholstery Question

[danijoe]

In 14 months of ownership I haven't really smoked in my Cruiser, the other day I had a cigarette in my mouth and while leaning down vacuuming, I brushed against the rear seat and left a little burn mark, I have cloth seats. It didnt burn through and it's hardly noticeable, but it is there and I'm worried that with people sitting on it, it might strecth out and tear through, any thoughts or remedies would be appreciated.

Well, since it's not real noticable, unless you have people in the back seat often I'd be tempted to leave it alone until/if it does tear..my 2 cents

OR..something like that happened to me with a cloth seat in a Saturn. The burn was about 3 inches from a pleat and the guy at the auto uphostery shop said there was usually extra material under the stitching and he could undo that panel, move the fabric over, and put it back together.
So...he pulled the seat, I drove to work, went back that night, he installed the seat, 35 bucks, the wife never knew.


(for an inflation reference I should tell you this was 3 or 4 years ago)
