Leather repair
I have 2 cars that have tears in the leather seats. Has anyone used a repair kit or have suggestions? Thanks.

Holes can be repaired by cleaning any rough or frayed edges and then placing a sub-patch of backing material that is larger than the hole must then be secured in place by means of a sub-patch and adhesive to give the leather patch something to anchor to. Before you insert the backing piece cover it with adhesive, allow the adhesive to become tacky.
Take a piece of circular leather cut to a half inch larger all round than hole and hold it in place with adhesive applied to the sub-patch backing piece. Pro Stick 65™ Hi-Strength- spray adhesive for bonding foams, carpet and upholstery.
Use a urethane clear top coat once repair is completed

Former Vendor
Also if you were planning to upgrade the interior seat covers, now might be the time. We have some great "leather" specialists on site as supporting vendors. DownSouth comes to mind.
