Cracked Leatherette Seats R53

Hey guys,

I, like most of the guys here, have a cracked leatherette problem. Any of you guys have a fix?

I recently was recommended to try the Permatex Vinyl/Leatherette fixer, but hesitant to try it. Seems a lot of people online say even though it fixes the crack, the color matching is a really a hit or miss.

I'm not too familiar with those. You might want to give an upholstery shop a shout and see what they might quote you for the repair. Call around to a few and get some estimates. Might be worth it to have them do it rather than be unsure about it being right with that material. Good luck.
