Cool Quick leather repair?

Hey guys. So I got a small tear, about half an inch in length, on the drivers side seat. Is there any quick repair that can be done? Either to fix it or cover it up so it's not noticeable?

yup, you can find a paste thingy, sort of a leather filler, use it like normal filler, it stays flexi. Sometimes you can get it matching the colour of your leather, and if not, then you can get a leather paint that should match it. It's rather easy to use, I've done all my seats like that, as they looked rather poorly... I guess you're in Woodhaven in US of A, not the one in Scotland. Someone should advise you on what product to get locally to you. I got mine from eBay, you can search for leather repair kits.

Yes definitely the wood haven in America, although thanks for the info, I never knew there was a woodhaven in Scotland. So would you be able to send me the name of the kit you used since you had success with it?

Check out Leatherique. They have a filler and dyes to match your interior, instructions on the web page.

I forgot to mention leatherworldtech.com. I like them because you can buy dye concentrates and tints in addition to pre- mixed dye and filler, allowing you to adjust the color.

A tear as in right through the material?

If so, you'll need to put a patch on the underside to hold it together and stop it spreading before you can apply any filler / dye treatment.
