Torn / ripped seat cover, how best to fix?

[p1tse]

My seat cover is torn / ripped

Anyone else have this and fixed it?

Get stitching! Haha or buy a new one. They're relatively cheap..... It's served its purpose so treat the teg to a new one

As Jimmer says, Buy new.

My Capital Seating ones were torn where the base meets the bolster, Had a friend repair them for me, but because the fabric frays where it's ripped you have to fold the fabric back on itself in order to stitch it, meaning it never quite sits over the seats right again as it's slightly smaller (If that makes sense).

I bought two from a forum member

One had a hole already and the other is gong this way.

I'll rather try and do a temp fix of sort and put the money towards actual new seat material

For the money you'll put into paying someone else to fix it, you may as well just buy new ones.

I'm not really sure what to suggest in terms of a temp fix other than, pop your masculinity to one side and speak to your inner seamstress, pick up a needle and thread and have a crack at it yourself....Doesn't need to be pretty as the stitch will be on the underside. Might be worth a shot

I think it was you who bought my seat covers off me iirc

Indeed it was! I thought I recognised the username where I saw you pop up in another thread...didn't click until now. Haha

The cover looks really thin nylon?

As my missus is a seamstress she just repeated Chewy really, not worth repairing and if you manage to get someone or yourself to repair it, it will be smaller and won't fit correctly.

I got a pair of seat covers from UK Custom Covers off Amazon, I recommend these as they are quite thick material and feel very hard wearing, I'll fine a link if your interested!
