Stiching On Seat?

[sandeejs]

I have a 2010 RTs that I bought used. I notice that the stitching holding the seat together is loosening in some spots. Is there something I can put on it to prevent my seat from coming totally unravelled? (pun intended)

Black duct tape is probably the easiest solution.

A pair of harness needles and black waxed or nylon thread will fix it like new.

Short of the above, a trip to the upholstery shop is warranted.

There were some issues with the seats on the 2010 and some were fixed under warranty. I think we are beyond that point at this time.

Good luck on your fix.

I had the same problem. I took the seat to an auto upholstery shop nearby and they reinforced the area. Did a nice job, but cost me $100. It's cheaper than a new seat and it was done right.

(Depending on how unravelled it is...)
Could you put some fabric adhesive into the "valley" between the panels?
It might be enough to stabilize the stitching, and keep things together...

Wondering about this myself, as I have the same issue with the seat on my 2012. My local upholstery shop said there wasn't anything they could do due to that would really fix it as the seam was in a high stress area.

Take to a seat shop may have to get it reupholstered? .. I don't recommend tape or you will have fun cleaning off that crap..But if you don't care then go for it..
