What a good mend looks like

Invisible from the aisle

Riders on a busy route between New Haven and Bridgeport look at the same seat backs every day. A patch that breaks the pattern stands out and tends to attract more damage. Good bus seat repair lines up four details together: the printed pattern, the direction of the pile, the texture of the vinyl and the fleet's exact shade.

The method

Patch, fill, finish

Moquette patches are cut from stock that matches your seats; on vinyl, the hole is filled, given its grain and tinted. Vinyl that is faded rather than torn belongs on vinyl seat restoration.

Usually. A backing piece supports the cut and matched moquette closes it in line with the pattern.

Can you match the moquette our buses use?
