This is not a do-it-yourself job. Let the professionals handle it:

The local upholstery shop made short work of this, 135 bucks well spent. Nothing makes a crappier overall impression of a car than a completely worn through seat.

Color matched, too.

Oooh, didn’t realize this was so cheap! One of the bolsters on my seat is super torn up, might have to look into it. How did you find an upholstery shop?

Mine is worn in the same place but more noticeable because I have the blue interior.

Our local upholstery shop closed last month. :(

Damn, you beat me to it. Came here to say, “Wow, you can hardly even see where the duct tape ends and the original upholstery begins!”

There’s one in town that I've   done business with for years. Dont know how unique they are. I always assumed there’s one in every town, but maybe not. They do convertible tops, boat interiors, classic cars, custom work, and every day repairs like mine.

This kind of repair rarely exceeds much over $100, especially if you don’t have to have a  perfect match on the material.  I would imagine a good, local upholstery shop is not more than google search or peek in the phone book away.

Just hit up a shop on Yelp and they said $275, and that’s without an exact match because “they don’t resell the original Audi vinyl”. Might have to shop around some, I guess.
