Cigarette Burn In Back Seat...What Should I Do?

Semp · 06-07-2011, 02:47 PM

Was cleaning my car yesterday when I found this burn on my back seat (don’t know how I did it, there's no cigarette butt back there, or any ashes)

My first thought was "well that’s this seat done for, I’ll have to order a new one from Honda" but from what I’ve been reading here and elsewhere, sometimes these burns can be fixed, BUT as you can tell from the pic (below) the burn is kinda in between the two different fabrics in the seat, so I’m not sure if this will be able to be repaired...

Thoughts?

Way back in the day I used to work for a Honda dealership. We had a guy come through once a week and repair interior stuff. Cigarette burns was one of the things he did. I believe the name of the company was "Fabrion". I'll try to get contact numbers for you. He did amazing work. He would fill it with material, then put a top coat on it to match the seat fabric. He would put these little fabric shavings into a gizmo that would electrically charge them. Just like your hair when you rub a balloon, these shavings would stand upright. He would spray them over the top of the filled hole, leaving the hole just about invisible. The fabric would be a super close match. Where are you located?

Nope. It's a helluva lot less than replacing a seat! Give them a call they can give you estimates.
