Broooo I cannot appreciate you enough, my beautiful Celica seats I neglected and left a stain that settled and made the fabric all crusty and fall apart but now I can restore it with your technique

This is better than all the others I watched!! THANK YOU! I CAN DO THIS.

Great result, do some more videos with different fabrics and colours.

Best video on r subject I've seen. It makes sense to cut a piece of fabric to fill the gap before applying the fuzzies.

Great video going try repair my seat now

Great video. Thank you. I can’t wait to try it!

I've seen many fabric seat repair videos, and your results were the most presentable by far! I have older rare Acura seats and reupholstering devalues them. I'll be performing this repair. Thank you!

Dude ALL of my seats have holes in them, and you dont know how grateful I am for this video 😭 I was afraid I had to buy new seats and everything

I didn't know this could be done! Nice tip with the carpet fibres!

Very cool tip. Thanks man

That's grand, thanks a million.

Well done! Another variation on this is to push the off-cut inside the hole out of view to one side beneath the cloth, then put the glue on the spot on the foam. Then with a tweezers or needle-nose, grip the patch and pull it into place.

Best video out there. Was about to invest in one of those repair kits but with this video I think I can do it without it. Bought a used pair of WRX seats and unfortunately owner was a smoker. After a deep clean and patch of the hole they'll look good in the GC8.

Thanks! I am going to do this on my Nissan Altima, Because it's starting to tear.

Such a good idea to fix ! Going to try this ❤

I think I may go to a craft store and get the material I need instead of cutting fabric from my car. My seats are black as well with a design in it. I feel that black fabric is easier to fix because it’s less noticeable. Thanks for the video.

Great fix!!. Thanks.

Very very show , ficou muito bom parabéns

Good video, LIKED!

what's the name of that glue you using please?

The black makes it show less. In other colors it would show up allot. Easier to just cut a bigger piece in a round or oval shape and overlap about 1/8 - 1/4 ". Make it bigger to get a round or oval patch which the eye won't notice as much as straight lines. Then glue only the edges of the piece and lay it down over the whole or tear. When dry the glue will harden enough that you can trim a bit of the top of the edge to lessen the step with some small curved fingernail scissors. It won't come off and be less noticeable.

Like it, I'm going to put a hole in my car seat now to see if it works

I skipped to the end; 'the hole is pretty much invisible'; all I saw was the hole. To be fair, this is one of the better repair videos!

Wow thanks gonna try this!

Good job....

I was going to ask what type of glue do I need to be able to do this repair I appreciate you taking time and showing people to do thanks again this is much help

Good lesson

excellente technique ingénieuse :)))

Thank you!

Bleddy Hell !!! dat's amazing

Is that PVA glue, like Titebond or Elmer's?

What kind of glue did you use?

I know a guy who does this to used cars at a dealership,,,,he showed me this and said it was only a guick fix to sell the car, and that it would not last more than a couple days of sitting on it before it opened back up...

Thank you!! amazing!

An easy and cheap fix.

I have an old peugeot 205 convertible and the seats are perfect, apart from one of the bottoms of the rear seat. It looks like someone has neatly sliced the fabric along the grain of the material with a really sharp knife, only about three tears right next to each other, couple of inches long. Is there a really strong tape i can put underneath these tears and hold it together/support it? Thanks.

How long should that repair last?

Was anyone else thinking thats to much glues both times but some how worked

Good stuff

Brilliant 👏

What kind of glue?

hi what glue was it please sir

Thats nice the problem is if you brong it to carwash / detailer they will scrub it and for sure it will fall

awesome

now sit on it a few times. be lucky it lasts a week. the off cut is glued to the foam which will stretch differently to the seat material when sat on and will soon pull apart. nice bodge when selling a car but thats all it's good for

You can shave it after with electric clipper

Love it

It's a good way to temporarily cover or hide the hole if your trying to quickly sell a car I'd rather just use a needle and black thread or find black upholstery patck cut it and put it on seems easier then cutting more parts off other seats or just get a nice seat cover

When you cut the seat material and wanted a tiny piece , why do you cut a large piece and not a small one ? Also why can’t you just use an off cut of any similar material as the inner backing as long as the colour is similar ?

del roce se va enseguida

Does this works on heated seats too?

Genius !

Black Sharpie.

You can start by preventing future tears by not going by Taco Bell so much.

Does wood glue work ?

You are messy with that glue! I sew the patches in, with tiny stitches and matching thread.

Could have used a glue that dries to a rubbery feel, that glue will be hard. Still great job.

Gentilmente che colla usi?

Holy Mother of God that is a useful tip! Genius to use a piece of material from the same seat. (Slaps forehead)

Filling the hole and stitching the patch would probably be better

Why not just tuck the piece under and glue the edges down?

are you in ireland ?

It's so dark need lighting brother

My GF was offended, she’s not a “Guy”

Lol, those hands... like HowToBasic...

I wouldn't do this if I was going to keep the car but if I was going to sell it and just wanted to make it look a little better I guess that would be a good way to do it other than that I think it's a stupid fix....

fibre surgery

👏👏👏👏👏👏👍🖐

RIP AND TEAR

I will never smoke cigarette while driving a car

.

Yep so so easy just get a new car seat

AAAAAAAND THATS WHY SEAT COVERS EXIST, YOU PUT THEM ON THEY LOOK GREAT, AND WHEN YOU WANT TO SALE YOUR CAR YOU TAKE THEM OFF, JUST CLEAN THE SEATS A BIT IF NEEDED AND SEATS ARE BRAND NEW AND CAR LOOKS GOOD. LOL. YES I KNOW I KNOW THIS VIDEO IS TO FIX THE HOLE BUT I DO CAR SEAT COVERS BEFORE MINE GET DAMAGE

No me interesa

🤦‍♂️ This guy reminds me of the older gentlemen I see driving cars around with black bumper bars, repaired with silver duct tape. He’s fixed a hole in a car seat by replacing it with a temporary pubescent mole, that didn’t require the backing of the seat cover to be cut off, needed a far larger patch of any black cloth tucked into the hole. NOT glue slopped everywhere (which yes, dries clear, but glossy), and at the very least, some thread to secure it better to the patch beneath. He may as well have used silver duct tape 👎. To my Lady… If I start fixing things in this manner, the gun’s in the shoe box under the bed. Please set yourself free of me 😕.

This repair isn't any good, the best way to fix that would if been to remove the seat from the car and cut the whole seats cloth out and replace it with some blue harbor freight tarp with your free coupon and then spray paint it black.

First thing u want to do is take the seat out. Or learn how to make & record a video

FAKE FAKE FAKE

Awful repair
