The seats I have in my Elky were a freebie from a friend out of a Regal. But, they have a few cigarette burns in them. Is there a way of "fixing" these small eyesores without recovering?

Duct Tape ?

Sorry, I couldn't resist. :lol:

But seriously, there are several companies out there now that make seat covers replacements that you can do yourself really easily

Are the seats covered in cloth or vinyl? If they are cloth, I think you are out of luck...Pull on covers? :roll:

If they are vinyl- there is a repair kit you can get- they advertise it on TV all the time- you mix the paste colors, then apply... etc etc- It actually does work pretty good(hard to match the colors though) You could probably get that stuff at an autoparts store- or one of those "As Seen On TV" stores they have in the malls...

Getting new covers is actually not that bad- $200 or so for a set, then you could install em (fairly easy)... Of course i don't know what your budget is..

Hope this helps some!

The seats are cloth, not sure what the style of cloth is. It's the type that is made up of little fuzzy fibers. Recovering would be a pain with these seats, they are the type out of a Regal with the extra cusion thing around the seatback.

if you are really bothered by it, seat covers would be the easiest fix.
