Repairing Leather Seat Tears/Cuts
This past weekend I was cleaning out my basement and decided to donate a few items to the local salvation army. I had a massive CRT TV that I no longer needed so I packed it in my back seat (with nothing protecting the leather, first mistake) and headed to the drop off. The workers at Salvation army said they'd unpack my items for me and to stay in my car, so I agreed (second mistake). So, when they got to the TV they dragged it out of the car, after I told them it was heavy and not to do exactly that, and this resulted in a cut about an inch and a half long in my leather seat. I did not see the damage until I got home and I immediately went back to the store and got the manager to show him the damage. The best answer he had was "well, I have no proof my guys did this - maybe super glue will fix it". So, now my otherwise perfect leather seats have a cut that I am afraid will grow. What do you suggest I do to fix it?

find a car gettong parted out and get the section of the seat or just the cover, or find one in hopefully good shape at a JY. i would have bitched up a storm. but luckily, i have no back seats 
does suck though

I've asked fisdad, he said he had a tear, it cost 150$ to get the tear stitched. You can get it stitched but it won't look good as new.
