Question leather cracks....

I just bought a 98 gs4 and I noticed that the driver seat has a few cracks in the leather. They are not to the point of spliting but that will eventualy happen if this is not corrected. My question is, is there a product(s) out there that can help me correct this issue before it becomes a problem

This is the only product i'm aware of. It's not exactly easy though since it involves redyeing the panel(s).
I have done leather redyes on older cars, but I have never personally used the crack filler. Good luck.

Thanks for the help. But I don't think I'm mentaly prepared to "Sand the seat" as they suggest.

Heheh, knew that would scare ya.

Personally, I'd just wait till it really does split, and just have the panels replaced. It would cost a few dollars more than all the supplies you'd need to fill the cracks, dye it, etc, but would be LOTS less hassle. Cheers.
