Leather repair?

[ussfletcher]

Hey guys, so I moved out of my dorm room yesterday and had my car packed full of junk, when I got back I noticed a small gash in the back of the Drivers seat. Its only about 1/4 of an inch long, maybe slightly less.. but I can see the padding behind it, and I don't want it to spread. Is there anything I can do to fix it, or at the very least prevent it from spreading?

I'm not entirely sure that the 'leather' is genuine either.. FWIW its a 2006 Buick LaCrosse with a gray 'leather' interior.

Thanks

It's real leather.

I have knowledge of how this product works or whether it will hold up. I imagine the repair will look like shit though. If it's in a high stress area that gets flexed a lot, it may not last long. It's in the back versus the seat area itself, so that's a plus.

Googling "repair leather car seats" comes up with other products too.
