What do you guys/gals use to prevent an existing cut in your leather seat for getting longer? I have an approx. 5cm cut in my leather seat and worried that it will get big if not treated. Any suggestions to prevent a bigger problem? Thanks!

Are you going to get it treated eventually ? I presume it's on the driver's seat ?



If it's not in too obvious an area (to the eye), I would consider having a go at stitching it for the time being (in a same colour cotton). At least it'll keep it together and should prevent it from spraying outwards which will in turn lengthen the cut.
 
^^^No, its not in the driver seat. Its in my mid second row seat. IMO, not sure if stitching is really needed because it is really small. Can a filler actually solve the problem?

Well in that case, forget the stitching - it was just a temporary measure if it was on the driver's seat (or any other seat being used often for that matter).



You can actually buy leather glue, which would be worth considering as they don't look all that expensive. You have to be careful that the glue you are using won't discolor your seats, so make sure you buy the right one.
 
Leather glue makes more sense to me. I'll check my dealer if they have one on stock then. For an OTC glue, which product do you recommend? Is there a specific glue for a specific leather seat color or are they all the same? Let me know if there's a certain product you do recommend. Again, thank you for your help.

Sorry bud, I'm not sure what glues you guys will have over there.



I just done a google last night on "leather glue" and it came up with a load of suppliers names over here.



They look real cheap though - only about a few British pounds for a tube / spray. Definitely worth having a go though in my opinion.



I'd presume that it might be worth ringing the suppliers before ordering just to make sure about the color defect, but I'm pretty sure if it's a leather glue, it's gonna be for all colors.
