How much does it cost to repair a leather car seat tear?

If you have a tear in your leather car seat, you have two options to consider: professional repair or DIY repair with the Coconix Leather and Vinyl Repair Kit.

Professional repair can cost hundreds of dollars, as the process involves removing the seat from the car, repairing the tear, and then re-installing the seat. This can take several hours and may require the use of specialized tools and materials. Additionally, you may have to pay for parts and labor, and the final cost can vary greatly depending on the size and location of the tear.

Coconix Leather and Vinyl Repair Kit

Rubbing Alcohol

Cotton Swab or Cotton Pad

Scissors or Utility Knife

Plastic Wrap

Step 1

Preparing the Damaged Area

Carefully trim any excess threads, jagged bits, or burn marks from the tear on your leather car seat.
Cut off any charred material if necessary.

Step 2

Cleaning the Area

Clean the area around the tear on your leather car seat with rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab.
Make sure to test it on a hidden area first. If alcohol is harsh for your material, you may use warm, soapy water or your usual leather or vinyl cleaner.

Step 3

Preparing the Backing Fabric (if needed)

For tears larger than 1/4 of an inch, cut a piece of backing fabric with rounded edges, slightly larger than the tear.
Insert it with the spatula provided in the kit.

Step 4

Mixing the Repair Compound

If your repair requires a custom color, refer to the Color Mixing Guide in the kit to match the color and prepare the mixture using the empty mixing jar provided.

Step 5

Applying the Repair Compound

Apply the repair compound to the tear on your leather car seat.
Start by applying it under and along the edges and work from the outside toward the center.
Use the spatula for larger applications and the brush for surface applications and detail touch-ups.

Step 6

Drying and Additional Layers

Allow several hours for the repair compound to dry until it is no longer sticky to the touch on your leather car seat.
Once dry, apply additional layers until the repaired area is level with the rest of the area.

Step 7

Adding Texture

Once the repair compound is semi-dry, tear off a slightly larger piece of plastic wrap.
Press it against the semi-dry final layer of the repair compound.
When you lift your hand off, the area will be slightly textured.
Repeat this process until you've achieved the desired texture. Adding texture will help the repaired section to blend with the rest of the leather.

Step 8

Finishing Touches

After the repair compound has dried, use a cotton pad or cotton swab and rubbing alcohol to buff out the edges of the repair on your leather car seat.

Step 9

Maintenance

Wipe your car seat down with a damp cloth or leather cleaner every few weeks to remove dust and dirt.
Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight for long periods of time.
Condition your leather seats every 6-12 months to keep them supple and protected.
Use seat covers or seat protectors to prevent future tears or damages.
