Repairing a crack in a leatherette car seat

· 1 replies · 1427 views

Hello,

The driver's seat has a crack but with no loss of material.

How can I stop and fix this crack?

Is it possible to do so without having to sand and recolour the whole thing?

In your opinion, which shade should I choose?

Thank you

    Hello,

    Thank you for your message.

    Leatherette is a particularly fragile material that is delicate to repair. It is important to note that it is not possible to obtain a perfect finish, particularly on an area that is already cracked.

    However, you can attempt a local repair as follows:

    1. Apply our flexible repair paste (RépaCuir) in thin coats to fill the cracks.

    2. A recolouring will be compulsory over the repaired area to mask the paste and even out the appearance.

    3. Finish with UV-resistant varnish protection, which is essential on seats to strengthen the durability of the repair.

    As for the shade, if you do not know the exact reference, please tell us:

    • The make, model and year of your vehicle
      or

    • Send us a small sample, so that we can make the custom shade.

    We remain at your disposal to guide you through your project.

    Kind regards,
    The SOFOLK team
