i would just shell out the cash for a repair kit, as most repair kits repair carpet and cloth seats also so its well worth it, also its an additonal service you can add for your clients, i know one guy who uses such a kit and you really cant tell anything was repaired unless you look really hard...the kit will pay for itself anyways and its not too difficult to use. youtube some headliner,carpet,seat repair videos and should give you some information of what your in for with this repair.. good luck to you
