How do I repair a cracked leather seat?
My leather seats are cracking and I hate it. Can I fix them at home?

Yes, you can repair a cracked leather seat!
First, find a matching liquid leather product at an auto parts, hardware, or craft store. Once you’ve found the right color,
clean your seats
with a leather cleaner or mild soap. Dilute the liquid leather with water and apply it to the cracks, then wipe the seat with a damp cloth to remove any excess. Once the seats are dry, apply a conditioner to keep it from cracking again.If your seats are more damaged, you can take another approach. First, clean your seats. Then, choose a repair kit that matches the seats. Next, cut off any threads hanging from the tears and glue canvas cloth under the tears.
After that, you’ll start layering the leather fillers. When the fillers reach a good level, sand them down so they’re level with the seat. Finally, clean off the seat and apply leather colorant so that the area matches the rest of the seat. Then, you can add your sealant.
Once you’ve finished fixing your seats, consider fixing your car insurance, too! Many people pay too much for insurance, but the
