    Puncture in leather seat

    So this morning, as I was loading the VX with all my school goodies, I screwed up pretty good...as I was reaching over the driver seat to put my gigantic Pathophysiology book in my passenger seat, I dropped the thing (It's very heavy), and the corner of the book punctured literally the very middle of the grey leather on the seat back. The tear is about 1/2" or so...it's TERRIBLE.

    Has anybody has any experience with leather repair? What would y'all recommend I do? I really hope I don't need a full reupholster...any suggestions would be helpful.

    ....or something similar might work.

    maybe call a local auto upholstery shop and see if they have any suggestions.

    Call upholstery shop, they can fix it! It's like a colored glue, barely noticeable!
