Well yesterday someone flicked a cigarette butt in my car without me noticing. It made a little burn on the seat in the back, its not horrible but noticeable... Any ideas to fix it or get the mark to go away. I'll eventually get a new seat when I find a tan set... Until then any ideas, ive found a few repair kits but there for clot seats only.

you reupholster just the affected panel which is more cost effective then getting a whole other seat....just gotta find a shop that could do it

colors might be off tho due to fading and what not....prolly much easier to do on black leather

your from CT, theres a great shop in westbrook that reupholstered my boat and matched the interior quite well. I'll look up there phone #.

Haha yup i thought that too, sucks to have a light interior now. I think im just gonna live with it because theres some other problems with that seat as well, sometime it dosent catch on the hook when i go to fold the seat up.... I might just wait some time until i find a cheap seat. I was also considering what a black leather seat set would look like in my tan interior.

ohh the ideas that spark up when something goes wrong.

dude my back seat WILL NOT fold down.....the part with the middle seat and drivers side rear passenger seat is locked in and i have no idea how to fix this problem.....its been that way for about a year (if the seats fold 60/40....it is the 60 part, the 40 still folds and clicks and locks like it should)

the lever to release it moves freely, and the black/red tab behind it is down recessed, i have used tape-wrapped needle nose pliers to pull the black/red tab up but that does nothing its still locked in there


any thoughts

very sorry about the thread/jack

well not trying to make you seem dumb but have you tried your key to unlock it? I know you can lock it in place with the key although ive never tried nor will I. I only say this because in your comment you never mentioned trying the key. Let me know how that goes if it is the problem...
