Exactly same problem here ... - What are the options ? Anyone ?

Are there any products out there that will fix the cut in leather ?

Same here. Just ripped the center of the rear seat last Thursday. I took it out to install the springs, and I leaned it against the wall. Little did I know there was a metal hook on the wall... it was at my friend's house and didn't see the hook. Dang.


Isn't there like a liquid leather thing? My car's leased, so I need to get this taken care of asap before it gets any bigger. Please help.

Isn't there a product called Magic Leather out there? I mean I've seen it on TV.. paste like material that fuses two pieces of leather together some how chemically and you can barely notice the connection. I dont know... if thas what its called, but search google... I guess too much late night info-mercial for me!

There is that magic repair

but don't get it, it won't match and just look like a black plastic smear on your leather - Contact your local Wilson's leather and see if they have any repair kits for torn leather, if it works on 500 coats it should on your seat.

Don`t Panick!
Take it to a local upostery shop,
they do that kind of repairs all the time,
I`ve seen some repairs that you couldn`t find after they were done. So check the yellow pages and drop a dime on them.
You have nothing to lose and every thing to gaine!
Good Luck!

thats one of my worst paranoia. I have done the same thing. I sat down on a brand new eldorado with a straight screwdriver in my back pocket tearing a nice 6 inch slit in the driver seat. Well no worries dealerships have support for that the next time i looked at it and it was all fit. Your best bet is to call the service department and ask them what they use and then deal with the company directly or like Bear2day said use the yellow pages.

Whats the name and where in NYC are they located? I have a small tear in the front seat. Since seat is perforated, will they have a problem making it look stock again?
