Below are a few pictures of the seat in my Accord. The seat cover has ripped. From what I can feel around in the seat, there is a metal brace which has foam in front of it, then the seat cover.
Probably my big self has contributed to the metal cutting through the foam and eventually wearing out the seat cover. Never the less, I'd like to get it repaired, but have been met with a lot of resistance. I checked with some upholestry places near me. Two places were, um... rude and angry? (maybe?) when I went inside and inquired about auto seat work. They quickly turned me away saying they only do boats, RVs and or household. It was as if they thought "How dare you ask us about auto upholstery". Another shop I called said they were too busy.
While I know many of us are from many different places, a shoppe recommendation isn't exactly expected. I'm here to ask some questions to those of you who deal with or have dealt with auto upholstery.
- Is something like this repairable?
- Would it be best to purchase a new seat cover and have it installed?
- Do the air bags deter a lot of upholstery folks?
