I have an original seat in my 66' and overall it's in nice shape. As you can see, there are a few places with small rips and seem trim coming off. Is there any way to stop these small tears from getting worse over time...a glue or patch?
Thanks,

Hey All -
I have an original seat in my 66' and overall it's in nice shape. As you can see, there are a few places with small rips and seem trim coming off. Is there any way to stop these small tears from getting worse over time...a glue or patch?
Thanks,

Re: Seat Repairs?
Not that I'm aware of. Raybucks offers a sewn to fit seat cover for sweptlines. A few fellows have posted about their experiences and they all seemed good and were DIY recovers. https://raybuck.com/product-category/in ... =dw-series
I'm thinking as old as that seat cover is, removing it to install a patch panel will just create more issues.

Re: Seat Repairs?
Repairing individual panels in that seat will probably be pointless as all the material is 5 plus decades old. Use a DIY Kit as pointed out or find a reputable upholstery shop to have it redone. You have the perfect seat to use for patterns.
