How can I fix damage leather(Tan)

I have 2 small rips on my leather and 1 tiny hole (cig burn). The leather is tan. Is there any type of putty or glue/cream that will seal the hold like a putty? If so, where can I get it?

Those do it yourself leather repair kits do not work. I've tried them and they truly suck. Just go to professional upholstery repair shop. shouldn't cost more than $100.

funny you said that cause I was just looking at them on ebay for 15$. They did have a lot of positive feedback though...Anyone else with ideas?

I've used the vinyl permatex repair kit. The one that comes with the heating tool. $20 at any local auto store.

It works...but the thing is you need to color match well or it will be obvious. I fixed a 2" x 1/8" rip in one of the chairs I got from a yard sale. It was a bisque color, but I used white straight out of the container. Looks like part of the chair is clean lol

Give it a go

Your best bet for this type of reapair is to buy aftermarket seat covers. I dont mean the ones from autozone, i mean the ones that look like OEM nissan seats but from a third party and then have the seats reupolstered. Prolly a bit pricey but worth it in the end.

I my sister do the repairs. She is completely going to redo the drivers seat and repair some of the squares in the rear. Each square can be replaced. I'll give her like 100 bucks...
