Default Leather seat touch up

2006 is 250 leather seats.

Im wondering if theres a material in which i can fix a small cut on my rear leather seat? its a small cut but with the sun it has gotten a bit more visible..Maybe something to stop it from getting any bigger or just to put some type of glue.

thanx

A furniture repair technician can make this disappear. If you can't locate one in the phone book, check with a high-end leather furniture store for a contact.

I agreed with jfelbab on this, but they can't help try a automotive upholstery shop in your area.

Any idea on what they do to it? Do they fill it in? Just wondering because I have a nice little tear/gash in my passenger seat and I don't want some BS from an upholstery shop saying they have to replace the section.

They likely will apply a couple stitches to prevent the tear from enlarging and then re-coat with vinyl, color and texture matched to the existing leather. I've had this done on some leather and it looks like original and has held up for years.
