Truck Seat Repair

I have a trusted upholstery repair person here in my town. they often do classics, but I have them redoing my 2008 F250 vinyl seats and repairs on my seat adjustments and flooring. They are surprisingly affordable and often do small repairs on single seats like for tears or wear/fading areas for average every day cars/trucks. You should be able to find someone in your town or close by than can do anything you need at an affordable price.

Thanks for your input. I knew about the duct tape or Gorilla glue leaking off the edges, but was not sure about the Eternabond. Thanks for the positive answer. I appreciate it. There is no hole, just wear of the 1st layer, so I can not install a backing.

I bought an adhesive pleather patch off of Amazon that worked ok. It stuck, but after a year the pleather came lose from the mesh backing, but that backing has held up fine. Doesn’t look great, but it closed up the hole.
My trucks a 2002, that I bought new, so I’m just trying to keep it going with minimal repairs until I have to bite the bullet and buy a new one.

I have a 2006 Ford Lariet with the fake leather seats. In one area the seat is wearing (about 6 x 6 area). What I want to know is if any one has had luck with any manufacture of vinyl repair or will eternabond roof tape work? The problem is on the driver side front area left of the seat, so it is not a flat area, but curved.

Duct tape and Eternabond are both bad ideas. The adhesive on the edges will rub onto your pants as the fabric flexes and make a mess. The link OPNSPACES provided with a replacement fabric kit for $70 is about your cheapest option. You might call around to salvage yards and see if you can get a 'new' seat in good condition but I'd bet that would cost more than the $70 re-cover kit.

OK, Purchase another seat.

I have never heard anyone use eternabond tape on a vehicle seat. NO one has ever dreamt up that idea before.
I can't imagine ever using eternabond tape on a truck seat.

I guess you will be the first to try it, so just go for it and report the results.
Ready,
GO!!!!!!!

I’m sure someone has, but do you really need advice here?
Put some tape on it. If it doesn’t last, put different tape on it.

I am going to restate what I need. Has anyone ever patched a area on their truck seat that was worn? If so with what? Has anyone ever used Eternabond for this repair, and if so are the results acceptable. I am NOT interested in covers or purchasing another truck.

Yep I would buy a replacement cover.

If you don't want to patch it ... Take it to an auto upholstery shop and have seat repaired ...

OR, as above post, buy seat covers. Remember, if you have heated seats, seat cover are not such a good idea according to MFGRs.

You could always get new covers,I used the Seat Shop for my vehicle,great fit just like new.
