Cigarette Burn on Leather...

Well, somehow I managed to burn a hole on my driver's seat last weekend when I was driving back to Pittsburgh from NY.... the cherry from my cigarette flew back in the window and under my butt burning my jeans as well

It figured too, that although I had barely seen any other cars on the road that night, there were about four right around me when I was trying to pull over to the side of the road...

Anyways, its right in the center of the seat and about 1cm in diameter, Is there anyway to fix this without reupholstering (I doubt it), or at least color it grey again?

Thanks!

I had bought my lariat with a slice on the drivers bottom seat cover knowing I could replace it....tried leather patch no luck peels right off in time and crumbles so I said screw it and bought a new cover from ford 300 dollars installed but I am glad I did it I cant stand the smallest imperfections

also try ebay for OEM skins. Leather is really hard to patch up without looking like its been patched.

Hm... no imagine what your lungs look like.

If you can find a good leather repair shop you might be suprise at what they can do. I had a small rip on the side of my drivers seat and had it repaired 2yrs ago and I cannot see where they fixed it. Best part it only cost me $45.00. Good luck.

Nice! I did this same thing and it sucks pretty bad. I also bought a set of covers for about $100 I think. I saved the rest for when someone else spills or otherwise screws up one of my other seats.
