Hi,

I need some help. I have a 2004 Mini with sport seats and they are the black/gray leatherette. A small tear has appeared on the driver side and I wanted to know if there was any product on the market for me to patch it with. I know they sell leather ones, but didn't know if they would work for the leatherette. I don't want to have to replace the entire seat, does anyone have any suggestions? Let me know, thanks!!!

Bests,
Marik

 

Food for thought, a kit like this might work, if not take it an upholstery shop specializing in autos. They can replace the panel.

 

ummmmm... link please?

 

The upholstery shop can be expensive. My boss got a quote to fix his leatherette seats in his Audi and the shop wanted $270. Covers & Interiors in Highland Park.

 

I was browsing PlastiDip's website today after seeing a person use it to paint his headlight rings. While at the site, I found a product that's for repairing vinyl.

Thought it was kind of intriguing.
