Repairing Pinholes / Tears in Seat?

Post by JohnKiniston »

My Stella has a couple small tears/holes in it's seat cover.

What should I put on those to repair it? I don't want to recover the entire seat but I don't want it getting worse either.

Search didn't come up with anything useful when I tried just now.

I don't know specifically about the Stella seat, but if it's like the Buddy seat at all, I'd recommend attempting a repair from the inside. On the Buddy seat, it's pretty easy to pull out the staples and peel back the cover. From there, you could use tape or whatever on the inside of the seat and then put it back. The only special tool you'll need is a decent upholstery-type stapler.

Seat cover

Just grab a seat cover from Cheeky Seats. Prices are good, they hold up well, and it takes 3 seconds to install if you do it backwards twice.
"Stella" is Latin for "use threadlocker on all fasteners"

^^ I have a Cheeky seat cover as well, and like it.

For repairs of what you have? Fraycheck from fabric stores. Its a CA glue just for fabric. It will buy you some time. works well on small stuff.
