    Fixing leather seats

    Has anybody ever fixed their leather seats before in a panther or another car? My driver's side seat has cracked open in one section showing the foam of the seat and is getting worse by the day.

      I fixed mine very nicely by putting them on the curb for the trash man and installing nice velour seats. Not much you can do if the leather is cracked besides having a new cover made, or at least the panel thats cracked replaced.

                While i use duct tape on the seats, i find masking tape works best on the headliner....untill you go on a road trip with a guy who has a 1 foot mohawk and tears a hole a little to big to fix.

                    good lord and I thought my interior was bad when I got the car. I'd have just ripped the headline out if it was that bad.

                      I've never seen an interior like that. The closest I've seen is a bunch of saggy headliners on GM products.

                          Thats what the headliner looked like in my 86 s10 blazer, same color interior too. I can imagine how bad it would have been with leather seats or carpeting. It had vinyl seats and no carpeting.
