    Got new seats but there's a small rip.. Need suggestions for fixing.

    Here's the small rip in the sad. Is there something I can fill it in with? Thanks.

    If it's just dethreaded it could be an easy fix but if it's torn then a repair would look too gathered in that one spot.

    Yeah the bottom material is a bit more eaten away to just rethread.. Of course i really don't know enough about upholstery to really try..

    If it was me, I'd take it to a place that re-does interiors and ask for a repair estimate... maybe it can get fixed for less than $100? ...just look up places in your local phone book

    If you go for pro repair, they shoild be able to do it quickly and inexpensively if you remove the seat cushion yourself and take it in.
