Need advice on how to fix leather!!!

I did something really stupid this morning, I'm moving to a new place and I tried to fit my plasma TV on the back seat of my 07 Type S, and guess what? I scratched the black leather on the center of the seat, under the center console. It is about 4", so I need to see if I can repair it. I mean I know is not going to come off, but at least try to put something on it, so it doesn't get worse over time. I also punctured a small hole on the gray leather, it is not bad at all, you can hardly see it, but I need to put some type of glue on it, because I don't want it to open more. Thanks.....

Stop by the dealer and see if you can get a replacement... Cuz anything else would look so horrible... I know under warranty they can replace it.. since this is not covered by warranty I am certain they would offer a replacement for a $ amount... I would go that route... cuz a coverup wont do the trick... Aside from the the only thing I can think of to hold leather over time is duct tape lol (j/k about the duct tape)

That sucks.....check with your dealer to see what a new leather cover would cost. It might be cheaper than having it repaired by an upholstery shop.

I had the dealer fix a small scratch in mine - $75.00 and you would never ever know it was repaired.........

There are folks that specialize in auto vinyl and leather repair. Check with the dealer if you cannot find someone yourself, since they are likely to have used cars touched-up before selling.
