Did it burn a slight hole or indention into the fabric?

If it's just blackish... and not actually a hole you can have that taken out.

My worst fear is that a ciggy will burn my leather!

Someone DID burn my leather and now my car is a no smoking zone, whatsoever, absolutely, I-don't-care-if-your-gonna-die, no smoking.

Sorry, kinda got carried away there for a sec. N-E-Way, anyone know how to fix a burn in leather? Like a paint type thing to cover it or something?

Suggestions?

I don't know if Nissan sells their OEM leather separately or not. For instance let's say the leather on your headrest got ripped up, I don't know if they sell the leather just for the headrest. If they did not, I'm sure most of us would not buy the leather for a whole seat to replace just one blemish. Now, if they do sell the leather separately... it's pretty straightfoward. Buy it and have the old leather taken off and the new one put on. Heh.

I'm making an assumption here that it wasn't a headrest that got burned. More likely it's a seat eh? The part of the seat we actually sit on? Maybe they sell that leather seperately? If this is the case, your mission is clear.

Good luck.

first of all, do this to that person




























now that we've taken care of that matter, there isn't really much you can do about that unless you change the whole rear seat.

I used to smoke and let others smoke in my old Accord, but since I got the Max, they'll be lucky if I let them eat something in the car, nevermind smoking. I've had similar stuff happen (burns) in my Accord, and most of them actually made holes, and when I tried to trade the car in, I was given a lot of grief by the dealer about the wear and tear image of the burn holes (i.e. not only are there visual holes, but it says that the car's owner was a smoker, and resalue value goes down).

Just don't smoke/let others smoke in your car regardless of whether you can fix this one or not. It's not hard to just smoke before you get into the car.
