Looks like the bolster is vinyl and they would have to replace the whole piece. Not as cost effective as originally quoted. Crap...I'm gonna figure out a way to do it myself....dammit

contact kevin from PERFECT AUTO FINISH. He has a lady who does it, and its really good. You cant even tell it was repaired. Kev says hes seen chunks of seats missing, and it came out great.

Cool, I'll look into it.

seat vinyl repairs are temporary , the people who do them for dealers used cars do this to dress the car up and make it look presentable,it will come back. the only way to ensure its done right is to have a cut and sew shop replace the piece completely, its is more work that you might think, most shops get about $125 on up, they have to take the cover off, disassemble it, pattern it, an resew it, on the bolster area it usually has a double stitch which is a pain. then put it back in. if you are going to spend 40-65 dollars for a temp fix you may as well do it right for a little more money.
