Glue to bond fabric?
Does anyone know of a glue I could use to bond some fabric? My drivers seat has a tear in it and me sitting in it is causing the foam to start breaking off and I was thinking of trying to glue in a piece of fabric to patch it because I dont have the cash for new covers right now, If you have any other ideas on how to fix it let me know. Thanks!

I've used a fusing fabric to adhere new cloth to the sail panels before. I don't know if it would be enough to hold on a seat that's always getting sat in, but wouldn't hurt any worse to try. I got it at Walmart - comes in a roll, it's white, and looks like Tyvex (the old computer disk sleeve stuff). You put it down, and lay the new fabric on top, and iron it with steam iron. It's basically just glue in a cloth kinda form. The heat/steam melts it inbetween the two pieces of fabric.
And before you drop $30-40 on covers, see about 4th gen seats at the JY - I got mine for $60 (entire set of 4) and they were in excellent shape.

I really like the GTA seats or else I would swap them, I will try that. Do you remember what the stuff is called or what section at wal mart I can find it in? Thanks!

You can also get some of the 3m adhesive for headliners in the auto dept of walmart, about $8 a can or at an auto parts store. I use it when I am adding fabric to peoples interiors, not sure if it will come apart or not from being sat on but its worth a shot.
