The Sprinter drivers seat was heavily damaged. I've ordered some cheap seat covers, but the damage needs preventative measures.
- Some hemming tape was heat sealed to the upper fabric with a piece of denim.
- The mess was brought together and hand sewn with basic back-stitches at ~5mm spacing.
- Color in the mess with sharpie. Contrary to the camera image, it looks better colored black in real life. (there was a mix of blue, grey, and black surfaces prior).
...very kludge, not pretty, better than exposed foam...it'll do. At $1300 for a replacement seat, the prior owner gets minus 1000 points for disrespect of their own tools.
Some seat covers will make the eyesore go away.
