Cigarette burn on seats

[ValleyGXL120 Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close ValleyGXL120]

Some Asshole threw a cigarette out of their car window as my wife was driving to work today and it landed on the front of the drivers side seat. Unfortunately it has left a burn mark on the seat. I wont go in to the details of what I would have done if i had caught up with the idiot. The question I ask, is it possible to repair as I would imagine the material is hard to match as it is several years old and possibly used only on Prado (dune colour). I could just forget about it and put seat covers over the top as I was going to do any way, but it does look crappy and would take value off the resale should i sell the car further down the track

Re: Cigarette burn on seats

You can buy the original seat covers as a spare part. A trimeer can then install it. (You can also buy just the section you need)

That must have been scary for your wife - ciggy landing on her while driving. :shock:

I get really irritated at people flicking cigarettes out of car windows.
If you got the rego you can report them (EPA website ).
Well here in Vic you can.

Its one thing that really anoys the crap out of me, I was a CFS member for 9 years and the amount of fires that start at road sides that we used to go and put out, that could have developed into something worse is astronomical. If your a smoker and you smoke in your car. Use the F@%&ing ashtray and clean it out regularly. i believe there are very heavy fines for those that get caught. unfortunately for my wife she didn't have time to take a number she was too busy trying to pull over and stop the cigarette burning any thing else (like her legs)

Check E-Bay for the velour trims that have been removed from Prado's to change to leather.
I have seen complete brand original Toyota new sets sell for $100
A pity you didn't have a grey interior as I still have my originals!

Cheers, Mat
