You could probably take it to an auto upholstery shop and see what they say about it. I'm sure they do repair jobs. Make sure your friend pays for it tho.

Thanks! It needs more pix tho. I'll post more as soon as I get my digi-cam, which I'm suppose to receive sometime this week.

I would start at the dealer. If it was only a cell phone, I would raise hell that a small piece of blunt plastic tore through expensive Leather seating. Also bring up the point about warranty coverage. It can't hurt to start where you might get it replaced for free...

That must have been sharp to cut through that leather, that's all I can say.... I'd say just buy a new seat bottom and replace it if you can, a repair might look like crap, and besides, you didn't do it. If he cut a whole in your seat, he's done it to every other one he's sat in.
