0 BrianT Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I don't think it's something that can be fixed. Replace it, or cover it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jtrade Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 Thanks, I'm not trying to make it look new or perfect but just repair it so it doesn't get worse with minimal aesthetic damage... As for replacing or recovering the whole back seat cushion would have to be done since it is a bench type seat & one piece of leather all the way across... I don't think it's something that can be fixed. Replace it, or cover it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 SYMAWD Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 The perforations will probably make it impossible to match. It can probably be fixed, but never matched because of the perforation. We have guys at work that can fix stuff that I never thought possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 The Guz Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 3M makes a leather repair kit that you could try. It's available at most local autoparts store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 LFairbanks Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I'am sure it can be fixed. Finding someone that can do it is a different story. I had these people come and fix some leather furniture in my house and it turned out perfect. Here is a link showing some of the damage, before and afters. Not my stuff, just pics on their website. I know they aren't in your area, but it gives you an idea. http://www.theleatherdoc.com/gallery/?album=2&gallery=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 69CamaroSS Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Leather repair is what I do for a living and it can be repaired even with the perforations. The company I work for has locations all over the country, maybe they have one in your area. Creative Colors International www.wecanfixthat.com, hopefully this helps you!
