The seats on my old Rover are leather. I do try and keep them clean and
fed with hide food - but the front passenger one has developed a split on
the side bolster. Not all the way across the panel, but more in the
middle. Strange given it gets much less use than the driver's one.

Could it be glued? I don't mind seeing a crease as that's just patina.

I'd be willing to pay for a new panel to be fitted. I'm not sure my sewing
skills would be up to it. I could remove the cover and send it somewhere.
Any recommendations?

Stitch from the inside and it will turn into a crease?

I have used a car trimming place local to me

Volvo v70 black leather

About the same for one different new panel in 2010

New seat foam on Isuzu trooper being done next week 70ukp + vat

I just drop the car off done same day

Didn't seem worth messing with myself ant that price

Regards

It certain ly might be worthwhile following up that line as I'm near
Edinburgh and there's a place here that does that sort of repair, so
maybe such shops are around generally.

Superglue works really well on leather.

Any suggestions on how to pull it together and hold it like that while the
glue sets? It's obviously quite tightly stretched over the rummer filling.

Or even rubber.
