I'm likely not as skilled as others here that successuflly patched leather, but the only fixes I've tried, showed because I suck at matching the color perfectly. I had an antique chair that needed a mend to the leather recently, and was referred by a place that usually can fix any furniture, to a auto restorer that specializes in leather. I had to drive the chair to portland, an hour away, but considering it's already part of your car, getting it to a good repairer would be easy. Then again, my daily driver is meant to be abused, so I'd just get some really strong flexible glue, and use a butterfly bandage to pull it shut while the unsightly goo dried.
Valuable info.
I’ve been wondering if I should go after those random white-ish threads…from a backing fabric?…with a Sharpie.
The dealer’s leather fix-it guy called this afternoon. He wanted almost four hundred dollars. I think I’ll go find an old purse or pair of shoes and try it on that first.
