If your'e handy with a needle and thread, and its more of a rip than a hole, then just sew the rip together.

If its more of a hole, then it may be possible to remove some material from the underside of the seat, depending on how its been upholstered, to use as a patch.

Son, then 14, trying out what happens if you put hot cigar lighter on upholstery ....... Found a repair place in the Yellow pages who replaced the whole section of seat fabric with matching, slightly worn piece - undetectable and for £29!! He gets fabrics from scrap yards and said he could match most cars as 'new' fabric would show the repair. Only ones he finds dificult are apparently ~Renaults cos they stick the cover to the padding - so these are more obvious when repaired. Hope this helps.

Smart Solutions looks promising. Otherwise look for local "car & commercial trimmers & upholsterers" in Yellow Pages or via Google.
