A journey from Maine to San Diego and back during the hottest time of year in a heat wave in the Soutwest has resulted in a small split in leatherette on the bolester of my seat.
Any suggestions on repair? |

What color is it? If it's black it would be easier to replace. If it's tan, no longer available, then (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) I want to know too!

You may take a few months off, but will have seen areas to improve on, most of which simply require a little back breaking, knuckle busting, tetanus shot work. Pat |
