A process for the treatment of fabrics and their use in equipment parts of vehicles, in particular motor vehicles

Method for producing a weakening zone (4) in a textile fabric (7), in particular in a fabric, by partial removal of the textile material by treatment with laser radiation, in which the threads (11) of the fabric (7) in a linear arrangement of spaced bores (10.2) are introduced, characterized in that along the weakening zone (4) the distance (d) of the holes (10.2) is 0.6 to 0.75 times the distance (D) of the threads (11).
