Hi folks,

any idea how I go about repairing this. it's not a rip and feel as though the top layer is peeling off.. I do look after them with the Auto Glym conditioner etc and seats are good.. just want to repair this now before it gets worse.

any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Subbed for response

You need some kit from furniture clinic iirc. You need to basically strip & re paint the area.

cheers mate.. seen some kits and wasn't sure so I thought I'd post here..

any recommendations? has anyone else had wear at the same place? Current:

Yep, very common place for them to wear.

Some leather paint will go some way to sorting that.👍🏻 There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Are the sides real leather or just vinyl ? Most vehicles only use real leather on the tops and vinyl in the lower areas.

not on a RR.. they are full leather.. Current:

Looked at a number of L405 recently aged about 2.5 to 4 years old and the driver's seat leather has not looked great... Light leather looking cracked on the seat edges and on both dark and light colours, query dye stains on leather or unsightly stains that actually look like seat is wet. Maybe some of the stains due to careless owners but still plenty of unsightly soiled seats.

I reckon it's down to the leather.. my dad had am old Toyota Cressida 1979 model. it's a classic car with full.leather interior and when you look at the seats you would never know they have been out there for so many years.. Current:

That crumple point is down to the squash that happens when you swivel in and out of the car.
I've had mine connolised and he touched that part up as best he could.

I'm now trying to avoid putting my weight there getting in and out.

You right.. I'm dead careful too unfortunately the damage has been done by the previous owner.. Did you get it filled and then dye put on ? Current:
