Repairing a small rip in side of seat?

I just got my tundra last week, platinum with leather seats, and didn't notice a small rip on the side... the notorious rip that eventually starts on all my leather-based toyotas. Is there anyway to patch it up and keep it from spreading? Never have I attempted to fix one before, but I haven't had a vehicle this new or nice before either, so im hoping to find some good advice here if possible. Thanks everyone

 

Find a good upholstery shop in your area. Ask how much to replace that panel. If it was me I would just replace the seat bottom with OEM cover. You can find these on ebay if you search. It takes a couple of hours and is not hard.

 

Yea, I'll need to do this at some point seeing how its wearing

That's fabric. You need leather.

 

Correct wrong link but it’s available from oem

 

Are you under warranty?

 

^ A buddy of mine had his replaced under warranty for the same crack.

ETA There are interior reconditioning guys who are very good at fixing things even worse than your seat. I know a guy who operates a drivenstyle franchise and he’d make that disappear. Not sure of your location but maybe look them up.

 

North dakota so im just assuming he's probly not near me lol.

And I would typically just use a seat cover but it has to be able to breathe, for the seat heat and seat "A/C" ... I will look into an upholstery shop near me

I am not no unfortunately
