Driver Seat ripped....

HELP! I have an torn seat about an inch long. Anyone know what I can buy or use to repair this? When I bought it from my dealer I didn't notice it, but looking from an angle and touching it, it is in fact a tear.

I have the Black or Ebony interior any help would be appreciated!

superglue? If it's good enough for human skin, it's got to be good enough for our leather.

They sell leather repair kits at auto stores. I have never used it so I don't know the effectiveness of the product. The kit I saw you had to mix the color too, so it might not come out the greatest.

Do you have any local auto upholstery shops around? This would be the more expensive route but it would come out the best though.

Looks like that is what I need to do. Anyone in SOCAL know of any good shops? Just thought I would give it a shot out there and see if someone does know.

Call your dealer or local reconditioning/ detailing shop, and they should know someone who can repair your torn leather. I've seen this repair performed, and when done correctly, you won't be able to tell where the torn was.
