Burned a hole in my driver seat, looking for a good way to fix it. I was going to try and find a similar piece of material to slide under it to mask it, but I figured I’d ask here first and see if there’s a better way. ---

I read about this before. Pull a seat out and trim some of the excess material from underneath to form a patch. Trim as needed and glue the patch in the burn hole. Matching material looks…well matching. 😉 Lemme know how it works cause I never actually did this. I believe this is what used car dealers do. ---

If its leather JCWhitteny sells a kit that you mix up a color,spread the color paste on and then iron it on with a piece of paper that has the same grain of the leather. ---

Sorry for the lack of response. Every time I come on here I go straight to off topic and forgot I’d made this post. > [@TradersBASE](#): > > I read about this before.

I got this advice from someone else as well. Seems like the cheapest/simplest solution, I’ll give it a try and take some before/after pictures and let you know how it goes.
