i have a friend who was driving and threw his cig out the window but it flew into the back seat. the cig then burned a small hole in it. he contacted his insurance and took it to a shop where they fixed it. looks good as new![IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 I purchased some seat covers for the fronts to try and eliminate stains. As for the rear I just threw a black bath towel on the seat. Serves my purpose of keeping the seat clean! Just tuck it under and on the sides of the cushion, looks fine.

Rep Power: 0 Get coves or new seats would be the fix. However, you shouldn't smoke in your car. It causes burns like yours, no matter how careful you are, depreciates the vehicles value, and in some cases, increases your insurance premiums.

Rep Power: 0 look in the yellow pages for car interior repair. its specailists who replace fabric. they also install leather in most cases. take it to them and get a quote. they match up the fabric real well its better then tacky covers. and cheaper than racing seats

Rep Power: 306 You can buy the material for the rear seat and get it installed at any auto shop that does interiors. Just check out www.hondaautomotiveparts.com
The part is 98 bucks, and labor should run 50 or so. Pretty expensive cigarette!

Rep Power: 0 I burned my leather seat back when a cig blew back into the car. It didn't make a hole but I dould never get all the black char off.
Now I always use the ash tray. Smokey Bear says not to throw cigs out the window anyway and he's right.
