Default Help. Need to know a fix or where to get seat covers

Hi All,

looking for a way to fix my driver seat rip, I was wondering if anyone has any idea. Also, my other option is to get a seat cover, any recommendation where I can go that can do matching of my interior?

Thanks

dang how'd I know this was gonna be a 1.8. They're all ripped. You won't find any used without the same damn rip. $300 for the bottom cover at the dealer. There is no decent seat covers that will really blend fr4om what I have seen out there. I wish I could be more positive but we all deal with this. I was actually pay the dealer price until one hell of an AF brother offered me some 2.8 seat covers.

I had a rip like yours on the side of the seat, (about the same size too) and I got a patch kit from Napa auto. It worked great, and was only like 10 bucks. I wouldn't recommend it for that huge crack in the center tho, that is probably to big. If you do go the patch route, make sure you take your time and don't use to much of the patch stuff or else it will look like CRAP. Honestly use way less than you need, and just do it a few times. You really cant tell where I patched mine except for one spot where I used to much because I was impatient.

Thanks for your post replies guys. I guess this problem happens a lot. I really want to preserve the clean look of my interior and get any cheesy car cover that i know im going to have problems trying to find a match. ;( let see how much my local Audi dealer will charge me.

Ok i finally found a place that can fix my driver seat rip for $500. He will replace the fabric and match much everything. Is this too much or is this decent price?

thanks

Have you looked on Vortex? If nothing else post a WTB and people will usually have something!

I've been looking for a seat cover as well. Something simple in black or tan with the four rings on it. so far, haven't found anything. may try a couple auto parts stores to see what they have next. Don't realy want to put the money into a new or used seat right now.
