Leather Seats - Repair Kits?

Treppiede · #1 02-19-2008, 10:37 AM

Gentlemen,
I am slowly finishing up my SVX and one of the pending things to do is patch up two cracks on the driver's seat leather.

Have any of you guys tried those Kits that are sold @ Walmart and Auto Parts stores? Do they work reasonably well?

I don't expect a perfect job, I don't mind if the patch can be seen after the job is done, I just want to be able to cleanly apply a small rectangle to cover the cracks and bond it in clean and durable fashion.

Any advice?

Thanks!

I've heard of the kits that are on eBay working pretty good.

Thanks for the reply. Do you know which ones exactly?

On a side note, I bought a headlight cleaning kit from eBay two weeks ago and it has worked well, it was only $6 shipped, I will post before and after pics this week and link you guys to this Seller's eBay store.

I have used the leather dye that is on ebay. It works very well. You just have to reapply it every once in a while.

Thanks for the replies guys! Has anyone used the one for sale in Walmart? I'd love to do this job this upcoming weekend, and if I buy the eBay one it'd probably get here next week.

Thanks!
