Repairing leather
« on: September 04, 2010, 10:37:43 am »
On the drivers seat bolster its begining to look like its cracking a bit and needs some TLC. I routinely apply Gliptone cleaner and feeder every year so the rest of the seats are fine. It appears to be only where my ass is brushing aginst the seat when getting in the car.

Any recommendations other than to get a softer ass?

it's the crap VW leather. I'd say get the seat redone with some proper or better leather.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
