roughly speaking of course-does anyone know how much repairing a tear in a vinyl seat costs?

Question

I have a jeep with vinyl seats and the drivers side is torn-- i used one of the repair it yourself kits however i think it came out looking just like a home repair-----does anyone have an idea of how much a rip 4 inches long in a tan vinyl seat would cost to repair it is about 1/2 inch wide as well--i understand no one can give me an exact price--however the seat is in my jeep my jeep is not registered---so just bringing it to an upholsterer would mean taking the seat out or getting temp plates --alot of work if for an estimate if i have a ball park idea ahead of time i could decide if it is worth the effort

Answer 1

Sounds to me like the tear is too big to repair, considering that it is in a high stress area. Reupholstering could cost about $375.00. Buy some slip-on seat covers from Kmart or Walmart.

Answer 2

They have these vinyl repair kits, but seems you have used one already..have you considered buying some simple seat covers made of cloth to go over them? They make them specifically for any model vehicle you own

Answer 3

Huh? earlier it gets from now on applicable? if that's the case in simple terms permit it go. in case you meant earlier it gets worse, take it to a interior reach upholstery shop. they might restoration it for someplace around 20-30 dollars.
