Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum. Just last week I bought a 1990 325i cabrio. The seats are pretty worn in, the passenger seat has a big crack on the right side. Is there anything that can be done to make this less unsightly? I've included a pic.

Welcome to the forum.

You could put a patch behind it if you didn't want to spend any money. If you want it looking right, that bolster cover would need either replacing or renewing - purchase a second hand bolster from this forum (with luck) or new cover from a BMW dealer.

I think there is something in the zone wiki about seat repair.
