leather repair

My back seat (center) has a 2" tear in it. My wife shoved a tv back there...
Is there any easy fix to this?

Acura wants to redo the leather for the entire back row of seats!

Is the material missing at the tear site, or is it just a split in the leather surface? There is a repair solution you can use, called magic mender. Here's the website:

I guess it all depends if you're in a 2G vs 3G car (non perf. vs. perf leather). I believe the non perforated leather would be easier to repair.

You can call a "stitch man" who will come out and replace just that section. I remember in my old I30 before I got my 99, I had to have part of the drivers seat replaced after tore it by accident. It didn't match up exactly, but then again that was because it was sort of a fern/grey leather. If its parchment or ebony, they'll probably be able to fix it for you, and it wont cost you a fortune.

You could also check ebay. Sometimes yards will sell the seats for a reasonable price, but you might have to wait a while to find the right color.

Sometimes thats the only place it will fit is on a seat. There is nothing wrong with doing it if you dont just toss it on and push it in.
