I've got a bit of a tear in the bubble leather in my cab. Anyone that knows it will know what i mean - the strips of coloured leather weave in between the silver, and in a stretch about 4 inches long, the coloured bit has torn away. Any ideas if its remotely fixable or if i need to look for a new seat??

thanks

Not sure if it can be repaired but if it can and you need to match the leather colour Hide Restoration did a cracking job on my old TVR

Cheers,
