Hello, Today while getting out of my mini the drivers seat ripped up the side. looks like the seam came undone. Now I am so bummed cause it happened. Thanks for listening.

 

sorry to hear that. Did u catch something on it? Hope you get it fixed soon

 

Thanks. I am not sure if I snagged it or what happened. Called the upholstery place but cannot get in until next week some time to get an estimate and schedule to get it fixed. My mini has a booboo....lol

 

The bolster seam came apart on our '06 after a few years. We took it to a local auto upholstery guy and he stitched it right up. It looked brand new.

 

It should be reasonable as well. Cheaper than most other repairs on Mini's eh?

 

Thanks for your replies.

 

can also try someone that does upholstery for boats!

 

Bummer, good luck with the fix. It'll be back to normal soon I'm sure.

 

Thanks! I looked at it today and the seam came undone. So that makes me feel a little better. Bummed it happened but not a tear or rip.
I heard of a place 30 miles away that is really good so I plan on taking it there and see what they say.

 

I took the mini in this afternoon and the estimate is about $170. It is pretty long and they say it will take 2 to 3 hours. the seam has come undone some more since it first happend. Surgery is scheduled for next week. lol
