I'm wondering what the best way is to sew leather from the back seat on a Lexus SC400.
It is so dry, it has pulled away at top seams and ripped a crack about 1 inch, in 2 spots.
It is like tapping on a baseball.
What would be the best way to approach fixing this?

Thanks in advance

sewing up cracked leather? it think it would look like a hackjob like Frankenstein.

lol kaydee

ive seen the professional leather guys do some amazing things with the seats and i think that is the best option.

It's not a crack straight through the seat itself, it's just at the seam, were it was sewed before.
I've seen this happen to these cars here in NM.

Oh yeah, I have this same issue too, it's like 2 inches right at the top seam on the backseat also. I'll definitely stay up to date on this because I don't have a clue how to fix it either. o_O

Let the pros fix it. They can just replace the portion that is tore and is tearing. If it was me, I would just source out a nice back seat that isnt torn. JMO. GL

^ lucky that would be nice to re-do them no doubt, i was too lazy lol gotta deal on mint back and front seats with the exception of 1 small rip, picked up all 4 for $100 and tossed the old cracked up ones, back wasn't so bad but hey for the price i paid can't go wrong lol
