Dealmonger: A Leather and Vinyl Repair Kit For $13
By Stephen Cooke
Amazon’s offering this leather and vinyl repair kit for $12.70. It ships with a few different colors you can mix to perfectly match your vehicle and the manufacturer claims it works on all vinyl and leather-covered areas such as dashboards, seats, and even furniture at home.
Actually, I ripped the leather seat in my truck so I’m looking for a cheap repair. This might be it!

Good luck with this. I’ve tried these mending kits overe and over (including some “pro” ones from industrial car detailing places) and can never seem to get a good color match or bond. Last time I needed a leather repair on my leather Volvo seats, I took it to an professional. Worth the 50 bucks.
Oh, and it always seems that the tear is in a wear spot, and the repair has no tensile strength. It just ends up tearihng again.
You may have better luck (or have better skillz) than me. But that’s my $.02.

Steve: I used a kit like this to repair a cracked dash in my old 280Z many years ago. It was tough learning to match the “grain” pattern in the plastic, and the repair wasn’t perfect, but at the time it was all I could afford.
