How To Fix Auto Seat Holes By Using A Leather Car Seat Repair Kit

By Jill Faulkner


The repairing of holes in vehicle seats that are made of this material does not need to be done by a technician. Also, if seats are broken, you do not need to have replaced. You will only need a leather car seat repair kit, which allows you to do repairs yourself, which can save money and even time.

Prior to starting to do such a process by yourself via making use of the product, the first step is confirming that what you need to fix are leather and are not vinyl. It is because often, these look the same. It you realize that it is created from vinyl, another product type is needed for fixing this.

You next need to seek for the said product type in the shops meant for vehicle products or even hardware stores. This item should have sandpaper, adhesive, a dye, and even a patch. Next, you must check the patch that is in the product so you are sure that both its grain along with its texture will match patterns that are on seats.

This allows your patch to blend seamlessly and will not be too obvious to people who will look at it. Once you have done this step, you should trim edges which happen to be rough or even flaps from a hole that is in one of the seats. Remember to have that spot cleaned first.

In order to tidy the spot up, a cotton ball dipped in alcohol must be used. Make sure to wipe that area off by utilizing a towel that happens to be damp and drying it up. The next step is cutting a patch having the size deemed to be correct from the leather which happens to be in that kit.

The patch should overlap the hole by around an inch or maybe half of it. When this step is already done, have the adhesive near the hole made smooth. Then you need to place the trimmed sort of patch prior to smoothing on those edges. Make that area dry overnight.

Then you must sand right around those edges to take out excess glue. The next step is smoothing out edges on that patch that are rough. Then you should repeat this process, if needed, so you can fill in edges which happen to be rough in nature. You then need to match the shade which this has through the use of the dye that is included in that product which you have obtained.

Be sure of smoothing the shade evenly on that spot that happens to be patched by having a smooth sort of cloth used. That spot must be allowed to really dry. You then must lightly buff any excess colors off through using one cloth deemed to be soft. If needed, have the process repeated.

Lastly, condition and even seal your seat by utilizing a conditioner, which might be in that product you happen to have. When you have the hole repaired by using the leather car seat repair kit, avoid having it done in weather which is cold or maybe the garage. When it should be done at the soonest time, then have the vehicle warmed up.
