Question
I drive a 1997 Nissian Altima that is tan with a tan interior. The problem is a careless smoker that I was foolish enough to let ride in my car burned a small hole in the passenger front seat. I am not trying to replace the whole seatcover, I just want to repair the hole. HELP? Oh yeah, I am working with limited funds. Any suggestions that you have are greatly appreciated. Thank You

Answer
Replace only the damaged panel. Shop around at different upholstery shops. Check the dealer for a new seat or back cover only. Check the salvage yard also. Compare all prices. Send the bill to the person that caused the damage. Hope this helps. Mark.
