Ok...so there's a small burn hole in my passenger seat. I would like to fix it. The fabric is one of these synthetic suede look-a-likes. The fabric is called black alcentra. Any idea on how to fix?

Cow skin seat covers give your car or truck that distinctive bovine look. Made from high grade heavy weight acrylic fur, these high grade seat covers are very stylish, comfortable and provide lasting protection. Cow skin seat covers are available in bench or bucket seats for all auto-moo-bils and come in four cowy flavors.

I should have have mentioned that I'm prepping this car for sale.

I don't think it would have gotten any more serious answers any quicker, but yeah, you probably should have mentioned that. ;)

If the burn is in or near enough to a seam, you could try sewing it shut within the seam. Use a curved upholsterer's needle.

You could always replace the cover with Corinthian Leather of Naugahyde...

Do you know how many Nauga's have to be killed to make one seat?

I thought I was the only one to use the Nauga hide joke. Is nothing sacred anymore?
If you can get the hide from a Niagra Nauga, it's much higher quality. Hard to find, though, since the Niagra Naugas were hunted nearly to extinction in the 70's, but well worth the extra expense.

Blame Ricardo Montavon... I heard they used Naugahide to line Herve Villichez's casket...
