Leatherette is cracking
I have a 2011 Countryman with carbon black leatherette. I just noticed last month that I have 5 small slits/tears/cracks in left side of the seat. (You know, where you constantly squish as you get out of the car.) Of course, I'm out of warranty, so MINI won't fix it. Anyone have luck with at home repair kits, or know someone in the San Francisco Bay Area who can do the repair?

I had the same issue in the same location on my driver's seat but fortunately just before my warranty ran out so MINI replaced the seat cover.
As for repairs, there is a company called Fibrenew (www.fibrenew.com) that does this sort of thing. I've seen some of their work on boat upholstery and while not perfect is certainly very good. Not sure if they are in your area though.
