The leather on the seat back of my cab has split at the seam ( stitching has torn)...I've seen this on other cabs so it isn't uncommon but is it fixable...the leather is otherwise OK...cheers

my upholsterer soaked it in hide food for months then stretched and stitched it...buy a newer seat of a scrapper it will be cheaper

think you're probably right Dave ,the leather is v. brittle there (already been doing the hide food thing daily for the past 5-6 weeks or so but although the rest of the leather is soft ,the top of the back seat isn't) will try an ad in the wanted section....failing that just that area to be reupholstered
