Default Leather repair



Anyone have similar issues? Is this repairable?



Cheers

Gone dry, hard, cracked an now beyond 'repair'.

Can certainly get the individual sections re-trimmed but colour matching my prove difficult.

Can also get that section replaced and whole seat 'dyed' to a universal colour.

Or retrim the whole chair

For those with leather - condition your seats AT LEAST once a year.

Mine is a lot worse than that. Previous owner didn't seem to care about the car at all. I'm chasing retrims but its pretty pricey.
