Where to find leather "patches"? I have two small tears in my leather and while i do plan to replace the entire seat it really is not high on my list of things to do. Ive seen leather "patches" but dont know where to find them, something that will temporarily cover up the rips?
Any advice?

Take the seat out & take it to an reputable upholstery shop, they can match the material & repair it. Been there, done that, ..., on our old '93 T/A a few years ago. Looked excellent when she was completed & you could not tell it had been repaired/replaced. (The side bolster panel only.)
