Now i have a hole in it all the way to the sponge with about 7-8mm, maybe 1cm of depth and also that volume and it looks incredibly ugly !!!
Maybe someone have an idea how can i fix it without coating the whole seat!!? :mad:
Can i just sew it up? Wil it work and hold on?
Help !!! Can't sleep becouse of this !!! :'(

Oops a daisy :-[
Can you post a picture of the damage?
-
I can but i won't, it's so ugly that you will throw up immediately !!
It's a classic cigar hole!

Quick search shows a few different ways of approaching the problem...
Create a fabric "ball" (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_I_Repair_cigarette_burn_on_car_seat)
Buy a generic cover kit (http://www.amazon.com/Permatex-25247-Fabric-Repair-Kit/dp/B0007TQWKQ/)
Fill and stitch (http://www.clean-image.co.uk/articles/cigarette-burn-hole-repair.htm)

Not nice...That's why I kicked the habit when I was about 12 y/o :cool:

I don't know how the front seat covers are fastened to the seat, but the rear are just Velcro strips. If they are the same a new seat cover may not be to expensive to change. Or perhaps you could cut a piece from under the rear seat and sow that up, then use it to patch the front cover :idea:

Ive done the cut a piece from somewhere else and fix the hole before trick on an old car i owned years ago. :cool:

I bought the upholstery. ;) Fixes a hole but it looks ugly so this way i will not see it and i will improve enterior a bit, its only that i bought them only for the front seats.

Mmmm not bad. Matches your leather stitching :)
So, where's the hole? Oh hang on - you covered it up. Great job. :wink:

Nice coveres, looks like the fit is good as well :D

Nothing wrong with those covers... :D

Until they get a cigar hole......
If anyone smoked in my i30 I'd give them a slap :exclaim:

They look super! I'd go a pair of those but I assume they cannot be purchased in Oz. I've looked at all the local offerings at Super Cheap etc. but they are all ugly as sin. They are not genuine Hy stuff are they?
-
I quite like those, but do they have the "gaps" for the seat airbags :question: :question:
-
Yes i have the gaps for the airbags but they not across all the side of the seat, but partly, like the hole in the middle and i really don't know where exactly is the airbag, is it across all the side or in the middle of it or...
Pip, those of course are not genuine Hyundai, they are made by hand: http://www.vajsco.com/presvlake/index.html
They are doing it, as you can see, first class, all people here say that they are the best in Belgrade in this area, if not in whole Serbia.
Price: 40 eur + 5 eur for the mount.
P.S. Look at the grey color on them and look at my back seat - almost exactly the same color! :eek:
