Fixing tear in seat back fabric in a Peterbilt 579(?)

So after three years of driving the same truck, I was told that it's going to be getting switched out some time soon. I'm detailing/cleaning it as best as I can. But there's a couple of animal tears on the back of the seat. Not too big, but noticeable. Should I seek out a reasonable upholster guy in town and out of pocket to CYA? Or is there an easier way to patch up?


Clown on me away.

 

Pics?

 

As soon as I'm stopped again.

 

If the company allowed you to take the pet with you, it should be considered normal wear and 'tear'.
Both dogs and cats have claws that might (will) snag.

How are you with a needle and thread?
A curved needle might make things easier.

 

Here's some pics. I'm not an expert at sewing. But I've pricked myself enough times I desensitized. I'll have to consider the wear and tear. There is a pet policy so I don't think I'll catch too much flack. But the guys at the local shop are some real PITAs about everything.

 

You can buy kits to fill that without sewing. I had a lady come fix one of my cars that.had a burn mark on it.she dabbed it with this glue and bits of fabric. Perhaps you could cut off a swatch from a hidden part of the sear, make a pattern out of the holes and fill them in?

 

Why are you carrying a giant crappy tarp?

 

It's a cheap seat cover so I could put my bicycle there without damaging the seat further.

 

Be prepared to pay for the damage or pay someone to repair the damage. Nobody can tell you how your boss or the site manager at your location will handle your situation. They can tell you how some other person, at another company ONCE handled a different situation in 19xx or 20xx. If you pay for the repair MAYBE it will cost less than your compan MAY charge for the damage, or not. "Making predictions is hard, especially about the future."

 

I’m wondering if a set of seat covers from Walmart might be the best option? That’s the first thing I do, when assigned a new truck. Coveralls have the nicest ones, but, a bit pricey.
