Oh the irony. I post how nice my seats are and then rip them. I've ripped a centimetre line into one of the back seats. The cut is pretty clean but given the colour, stands out a little.

Someone please tell me that there's a company that can fix it because the interior is otherwise spotless.

Many thanks,

Yours Stupidly,

Mt problem is slightly different. A threadbare cloth section about 2 x1" wide. Just worn over the years. Is there a patch that will stay on and stop any more ware progressing?

MW, you can get a new swction of material stitched in, so no one will notice.

We had this problem with the seat edges wearing away, in Royal Mail vans, from repeat in & out of the drivers seat, during deliveries.

In some of this type of repairs, a plastic finish was stitched on the raised area of the seat.

Worked well.

Try a Yellow Pages or Google search (or both) for "coach trimmers" or "car & commercial trimmers and upholsterers".

Do you know about Barton & Son in Luton?

Roger,

Thanks for that. One of the first results brings up someone in Manchester which is fine. I think I'll give them a ring in the morning.

Thanks again.
