repairing leather

[black_yukon]

Last night when I was installing my billet pedals, I put my drill down on my driver's seat. The drill bit dug in and slashed the leather. The slice is about 1" long but didn't cut all the way through.

Does anyone know if this can be repaired? I'm afraid that after a while, the slash will open up more and eventually be a tear.

We have one on our 95 suburban. I looked into getting it fixed, but I never could find anything to fix it, but if you find something that can, let me know. Eventually the slash will get bigger. GM's leather is cheap, I wish I had some katzskinz

I just got back from the AutoZone and picked up a repair kit. It's made by a company called Permatex. I'll do a write up and let you guys know how it works out.

Sweet, does it come in colors, or is it clear?

It comes with several colors that you can mix to match

It's probably cheaper to get an uphostery to repair it than try to do it your self.. they'll tear that piece out and replace a new peace, it shouldn't be too much..
