Leather repair drivers seat bolster
I am looking to repair the worn area of the driver seat bolster on my 90 300SL.
Does anyone have any comments, tips, or experience with repairing what appears to be a typical 300SL leather tear. The 3/4" tear is at one of the couple of worn spots at the apex of the drivers seat bolster. I have seen some do it yourself leather repair kits on the internet. I am not looking for an invisable repair I only want to prevent any further damage. Dan

Two threads to check out:
Reconditoning Leather http://www.pindelski.com/cars/W126/W126_seats/imagepages/PIC00012.html A further search in the archives here in the shop forum should turn up a few more ideas.

I had the same problem on my 380SL. I had a trim shop that specializes in Mercedes replace the bolster and sew in a new piece of leather for $250. Looks fine but not perfect.
