Default ripped seat repair?

I have a small problem with my seat. There is a small gash in the stitching. Is it possible to fix it. here are some pics. The reason for me even bothering with this is because I don't want it getting bigger.





Thanks!

Yep! can you sew? Get a fish hook/threading that match the original thread.

It doesn't look like it was completely torn, I'm sure you could stitch it back in the same holes it was stitched in already.

Awesome, any of you guys can suggest a string/threading to use? I haven't the slightest clue when it comes to sewing but I'm sure i can figure it out, I just want to make sure i use the correct threading so it doesn't cut through it when i sit down.


...electrical tape......not happening lol

Its not as much fun in Florida. Black on Black is ridiculously hot. But i still like it

Yea.....that will ruin the leather. Ill stick to stitching lol

my driver side seat has a huge ripped to lol
A lot of people do lol. I got lucky though, my interior is very very clean, that little rip is the only one. Also, to prevent more rips i would suggest to use a leather conditioner. I used it a few times and the seats got noticeably softer.
