Default What's best to repair split in Leatherette seat???

My driver seat has a split in the Leather(ette)?

Has anyone dialed in the best way to fix?

I want to stop it before it gets much worse.

I'll post a pic if it will help determine a solution.

Thanks

marc

A pic would be good. I usually take anything like this to my local trim guys and let them repair it for me. Their are kits available but not sure on how well they hold up or how good they will look.

host ur pics on imagebucket.com and then post the url and highlight it and click the image button. Then it will work and not use any of the bandwith up.

have a professional do it. It can be repaired. I have seen an A4 leatherette seat fixed and it looked just fine. Cost was about 40 bucks.
