That's gonna be tough. I doubt glue will hold the seat. Especially if someone is going to sit on it and stress the glued area.
You might be able to get away with 3M adhesive on the door panel.

It's worth shot. It's probably the best adhesive I've ever used. Comes in a spray can. I think it has a number 70 or 90. I don't quite remember.

No need in wasting time or money gluing that back together. What you need is an uphoulstery shop

Elmer's glue stick should work.

This. It gets very hot inside the car plus you're going to be moving around in the seat so it's not like gluing a piece of trim or a loose headliner where there isn't going to be force applied to the area.

The uphoulstery shop I deal with could fix all that for $150-$175 if that might help you get an idea as to what you are in for
Looks like someone took a knife to your seats

Thanks Flash. No knife. Maybe it's my wife bubble butt :)
I'm planning on selling the car very soon. I just need it to look decent. The car is sitting in the garage right now and driven once a week just to keep the battery charge up. I'll go w/ the glue route.

I'll need a pic of your wifes butt to let you know for sure if that was the cause :Picture:
I understand not wanting to sink more money into this car. When you trade it in/sell it explain to them you realize it can be repaired so they don't try to jam you ($) by saying it needs a new seat. And don't waste your time trying to glue that. Its not going to work and will only look worse. Just sell as is
How much do you want for it anyway? Is that a Volvo? And what about that picture?!?!?

The butt picture is the x-rated for this website anyway:) you may want to go to bubblebutt.com :)
Oh damn no, it's not a Volvo. It's the Infiniti G35 Coupe 2005
