[Rollin Thunder]

ok i went fishing last week, i was too lazy to put the rod and cooler holder on the bumper so i set it all in the middle, well the nets and hooks cought the leather and ripped it while i was taking it out. How do i fix a leather rip? Here is a pic! TIA

That sucks. I have seen a leather/vinyl repair kit at Walmart in the auto repair section. You could give that a try. It was similiar to this http://www.leatherworldtech.com but alot cheaper.

hey great, thanks for the link, im gunna try that heat repair from walmart, and order some leather cleaner and stuff from your link, just to keep the rest of the leather nice and clean.

Man, that REALLY bites! I'd be really upset with myself too! Hopefully that repair kit will do the trick... :thumbsup:

I really hope that works out for you, that that would suck!

yea, im gunna try walmart and auto zone tommarrow, the other reason is that i forgot to park in the garage last night and the sprinkler system sprayed well water all over the windows and now there are invincable spots that wont come off. i guess the bad luck from breaking my mirror is causing all this.

I don't think "luck" has anything to do with it -- you just need to pay a little more attention my friend! :lol:

Yeah, and watch out for those black cats....

Don't feel too bad, I have done my share of stupid crap too.

i talked to my dealer dude about an ahour ago before he went to sleep and he told me that i ripped it in just the wrong spot and i eather get it repaired which may come out great or look kinda sloppy if they cant match right, or (for 675 dollars) i can replace the entire bottom which will also not match the rest because of the fadeing of the regular usege of the sun so eather way im sunk. dam. :cryin: :cryin: :mad2: :mad2:

you could always keep an eye out on ebay and maybe you can pick up another seat cheap. that way when you go on trips and stuff you can switch it out to the one with the rip and wont have to worry about getting more rips.

it won't hurt to try and repair yourself with the above mentioned product imo. can't make it worse, right?

Why not check some auto recycle yards. Maybe you can get a whole new seat or just the bottom. If you find your color it should match pretty good because it will not be new. You can even use the web to check a large area of the country. Good luck!

good idea, i tried a quick fix from walmart, and it looks ok but not perfect, but it will do until i find somthing like that. thanks

i might start checking around for salvage title yukons or somthing like that.
