Coconix Fabric and Carpet Repair Kit

Cleaning solution (such as a household cleaner)

Scissors

Cotton balls or cotton wadding (if padding is missing)

Step 1

Preparing the Area

  • Prepare the damaged area on your car seat by carefully trimming any loose threads or burn marks.
  • Clean the area with a cleaning solution and a cloth.
  • If padding is missing from the area you are repairing and the area under the damage is indented, insert cotton balls or cotton wadding and spread it evenly.

Step 2

Adding Backing Fabric (for larger holes)

  • For holes larger than 1/4 of an inch, cut a piece of backing fabric with rounded edges, slightly larger than the damaged area.
  • Insert it into the hole with the spatula provided in the kit.

Step 3

Mixing the Repair Fibers

  • In the mixing jar, add the matching color fibers and the metal ball.
  • Attach the lid and shake the jar for at least 30 seconds.
  • If your repair requires a custom color, refer to the Color Mixing Guide in the kit to match the color and prepare the mixture using the empty mixing jar provided.
  • Test your mixture by placing a small amount of the fiber mixture on the repair area with the tweezers.
  • Keep on adjusting your mixture until you get the perfect match. Be patient and make small adjustments until the color matches just right.

Step 4

Applying the Repair Glue

  • Apply the glue to the burn mark on your car seat, under and along the edges, working from the outside toward the center to avoid air bubbles.
  • Fill the damaged area as evenly as possible.
  • Apply a thin layer of glue around the damage to blend in the repair as well.

Step 5

Adding Fibers

  • Take off the lid of the jar and remove the metal ball. Secure the piece of mesh on top of the jar with the rubber band and use this as a sieve.
  • Hold the mixing jar upside down above the adhesive and gently tap the mixing jar. This will gradually sift the fibers over the adhesive. Cover the adhesive completely with the fabric fibers.

Step 6

Finishing the Repair

  • Gently pack down the fibers with the spatula. Duplicate any fabric patterns such as lines or swirls with the spatula on your car seat.
  • Allow 24 hours for it to dry. Once the fabric glue has dried fully, blow off any excess fibers.
  • Use tweezers to remove any stray fibers that may have stuck to the surrounding fabric.

Step 7

Finishing Touches

  • Use a clean cloth and a small amount of cleaning solution to gently wipe down the repaired area and blend it in with the rest of the car seat.
  • If the repaired area gets a lot of wear and tear, you can protect it by spraying a clear hairspray over the area.

Step 8

Maintenance

  • Wipe the seat down with a damp cloth or fabric cleaner every few weeks to remove dust and dirt.
  • Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or high heat for long periods of time.
  • Use a car seat cover or a towel to protect the seat from future burn marks.
  • Avoid smoking or any other activity that may cause burn marks in your car.

And there you have it! You've just fixed that burn mark on your car seat and it's looking as good as new. Give yourself a pat on the back, and give your car a pat on the back for being such a good ride. Your car seat is now ready for more road trips and adventures. Enjoy!

Works great!

There were some cigarette burns in a used Nissan Titan I picked up. The repair was pretty easy. Color matching is good as well as the process to apply. I think the color matching went ok so didn’t take advantage of the free support they provide. I’d recommend this kit without hesitation.
