Embroidery on seat unraveling
The "Corvette" embroidery on the back of my drivers seat (02 Coupe) is starting to unravel. Have any of you experienced this and if so, what did you do to stop it? My wife suggested a tiny drop of clear fingernail polish but I'm not sure I want to do this. Help!!!

Upholstery guy that did the seats for my C3 say the stray threads (frizzies) on my C5 seat and suggest waving a lighter (quickly) back and forth accross it and it worked like a charm. Although they'll probably come back so maybe nail polish or something else may be a semi-permanent fix.

If the thread is long, cut it carefully with sharp scissors so you don't pull on it. Then quickly wave a lighter over the spot and that will stop it.Ken
