Is there anything that can help fix rips in leather?

nighttowl · 04-15-2015, 06:52 PM

a new seat cover...

Not really but if you still have your warranty then the dealership will replace it. I had a rip and they fixed it no problem.

Take your car to an upholstery place that repairs furniture, they might be able to repair it. A professional repair usually cost a lot like $150-$200 so it might be cheaper to just order a new seat cover from the dealer.

get some recaros

For a solution thats more financially reasonable, try this. I got one, but haven't used it yet, and their youtube videos make it look really easy. http://www.furnitureclinic.com/Leath...-VsaAqV_8P8HAQ

Is this true? I have a the exzact size small tear, my 3/36K mile warranty is not up... you saying the dealer will repair this?

Midlife conVert · 04-16-2015, 07:54 PM

my drivers seat has the same type of tear. Let me know if the dealer honors the repair.

I would also bring it to a reputable upholstery shop to ask for advice.

Call the dealership they have a guy that comes in every week or so to do repairs.

The flap that holds the seatbelt down located above your shoulder ripped, I took it to the dealership and they replaced the top section of my seat no questions asked. Good luck.

Duct tape

That kinda looks like you sat down with something sharp in your back pocket or jabbed it with something, warranty isn't going to cover that. I've seen a leather/vinyl repair goo called Leather Magic advertised, I don't know if its any good or not but worth a shot, otherwise you'll have to replace the seatcover.
