    • Thread the curved upholstery needle with extra long, double length of thread in the same color as your car seat’s fabric. Tie a knot with the ends of the double thread, opposite to the needle.

Are u kidding me??? That looks like crap! I guess it looking similar to before the tear appeared wasn't part of the "how to repair car upholstery" article... silly me...

Maybe do a segment on 'how to repair a side view mirror" and then just duct tape it on!

Thanks for your contribution 👍

Well said Megan. I 100% agree with you. That is the worst fix example I've seen!

Well, it's not pretty, but it's exactly what I was looking for to repair an old, beater pickup truck seat.

I agree I just need something to sow the fabric together so doesn’t get any worse. It will never look like new again and it’s on an old truck a 1985 Toyota with rust so it doesn’t matter for me how it looks but I could see your concern if you had a new Tesla seat to repair.
