Leather seats help.

joshuaadamsmith · Apr 9, 2013

So my side of my seat has finally torn to crap in my 2010 Sport CC. I knew the ventilated seats were a bad idea and a year ago I noticed tearing between the holes which I hideously covered with gorilla tape to stop from spreading. Well the other day I hop out only to feel and hear the worst thing. (See pic). My question is. I can't be the only one. What do you guys do? As much as I hate to say it but seat covers sound to be the quick/ Immediate solution. I have thought about those leather repair kits but it does nothing for the vented part. Professional Repair is 400+ I'm not wanting to let go of that kind of money just yet for something that shouldn't have happened.

Oh and that's square because I thought covering with tape would help... It didn't it peeled out in exactly the shape of the tape.... Ugh

Oh man, that's why you use a good conditioner every time you clean it to keep the leather soft. The only thing I can see is calling dodge and seeing of you can get an oem bottom seat cover and do it yourself but your looking at a decent amount of upholstery work

Awe man. Now I'm kicking myself. I hadn't thought about leather conditioner. My own darn fault.

You can get OEM factory seat covers...or do a Katzkin

I do like Katzkins! Price is just so up there. But you get what you pay for. I got a similar problem with the wife's 300. I am such a ******* for not Taking care of the seats. Lesson learned.

Taking care of them + not sliding in and out of the truck will keep them looking brand new.

Leather is finicky

That sucks

Fortunately I caught the seam coming apart on my 2010 Laramie and had them replace it under warranty. I thought I was the only one.....

I use Meguires leather conditioner on my seats. Probably time to see the dealer and order new covers.
