Side bolster rip

[B4C]

Supprisingly it hasn't happens yet to my car and it has 126k I would like to keep it that way. What would you recommend I treat the leather with?

Lexol conditioner has worked on my 13 year old GP ok so far.

i was just wondering the same thing recently. unfortunately in the last 2 weeks a few tears have sprung up that i've never seen before. not happy.

yeah mine are tearing slightly im thinking about getting the seats recovered, same style just two tone. so i am hoping it rips some more lol Black and gray with an SS in the headrest. My seats were actually worn/torn before i got the car.

I think i just have the armorall in the brown bottle that the tire gels comes in for them. Use it on my car and my dads vettes.

yeah my car had one "scratch" in the leather that just turned into a tear and all along the edge it's starting to split now. some people are able to get just one section replaced at upholstery shops but i have no idea where to start looking.

there are places around, best place to find them is once car show season starts you asked the guys with the hot rods where they got it done.

ahhh good idea. fortunately you can only see the tears from outside if you look at the car from the passenger side window down at the very bottom of the bolster.

the biggest thing is, when you egress and ingress....dont slide your ass across the bolster....like most people do :evil:
