Default Leather tear/cut

So I was putting my tv in the back of my car today and I had a blanket and everything in there to try and keep the leather as untouched as possible but my brother ended up getting the blanket bunched up and it ended up moving out of place and somehow the tv cut a 2 inch long slice in the leather. Is there anything I can do to fix it? Or even something I should do to stop it from getting bigger?

I dont think there's any way to fix it except to get it reupholstered. I have a small slit in mine as well but its hardly noticable. It also hasnt gotten any bigger and its been about year now.

You can get it fixed by using one of the mobile plastics and leather interior repair guys that regularly visit used car lots in your town. Call your local Toyota used car dealer and ask them when the local interior repair and touch-up guy works their lot. These repair guys work pretty cheap and generally do good work. They go from lot to lot repairing tears, cuts, scuffs, burns, etc. on used car trade ins that then get sold as "perfect" to used car buyers : )
