Long story short, I let somebody smoke in my car and they threw a butt that came back in and burnt a hole in seat. The thing is it burnt a hole where the perforated section is.

Anybody know what is the cheapest way to fix this, the hole is pretty big, I can fit a finger in it.

Thanks guys. I appreciate any help.

1) Don't let people smoke in your car its flippin disgusting
2) You'll probably want a new seat bottom cover - www.acuraoemparts.com

Looks like it's $350 or so

Can't think of a way to 'patch' the leather..

MistahSleepy

Wow...that sucks..

I hope your friend is going to cover it since he/she damaged your car. I would be furious if I had to pay $350 because someone else was careless and damaged my car.

I'm getting mine done this week. I know an interior guy that does it right on the spot. Doesn't charge that much at all. Does amazing work. I will posrt pics.

Cool friend. First they ask to smoke in someone elses property, then are careless and the butt flies in the car. I would charge that douche bag to get it repaired.

someone once asked me if they could drink their soft drink in my car. LOL

Why would you let someone smoke in your car when you don't even smoke yourself?

$10 says it was a chick he was taking home after a night out and she only smokes when she drinks...

TeknoKing

go to an upholstery shop, 100 bux and you can get a whole new seat bottom section done that matches the interior perfectly

never let people smoke in the car...smell never comes out and second hand smoke is a killer as well.

Thanks for all the replies, you guys are awesome!

Yeah somebody give that guy $10 dollars, he's on the money, that is pretty much what happened. I even told her whatever you do make sure you don't burn nothing, I don't care about ashes.

She did feel really bad and offered to pay for it when she gets the money but I highly doubt that be anytime soon. So for now I am just going to have to deal with it myself.

I been calling around and the quotes I been getting are pretty high, one shop said that because its perforated leather that I am going to have to order it from Acura? Is this true?

Majofo

take a pic.. it might be a patch job rather than replacement.

damn buddy.. I hope you got some banana.. lol..

pilotman28

and lol at that also haha

I am going to take a picture as soon as I get home. I don't know how you could possibly patch it though, it affected two different areas(the lumbar part and the ass part)

Yeah I got some banana bro but it wasn't worth it! LOL

Majofo

damn.. that sounds like a nasty burn.. well hopefully she just burned your seats and not your junk.. you'll know in a week or so.. lol.

There are fillers that may cover the burns aesthetically and then they can patch & match the leather dye with an acrylic paint. I patched some f*ked up tears in my rear door panels. It came out okay.. not great but better than before and it was super cheap. A pro should be able to repair to like new.. maybe better depending on the condition of your seat.

I hope it goes well and even though it wasn't worth it.. hopefully getting some banana was better than seat burns & no banana..
