Default Leather repair (Beige) for 99 VP

Does anyone know of a good product that can repair small tears done to the beige leather of my VP?

I tried several products and the results were temporary. 2 weeks or so.
In the end I bought glove leather from the craft store and glued it on top of the tears. Oh, the humanity!
Actually, it looks better than the "botox job" of the crack filler. It has also held fast for three months. The color is a good match for the original oatmeal.

it depends on the extent of the damage, but I use Gliptone Scuffmaster, they have all the Jaguar colours, and they're used by Jaguar....

I had one of my seat panels replaced by a mobile service. Perfect results and long warranty.

Over here in the Colonies the reference for leather repair is 'Leatherique'. http://www.leatherique.com/

How much did it cost? How large of an area did they repair?

It cost about $125. He replaced a panel on the outer edge of the seat that had been torn. Came to the office, removed the seat cover, put a towel down, and came back the next day and reinstalled the repaired cover. He also did the same thing with my headliner. He was very experienced with Jags and did a great job! Still stinks of glue tho...
