Leather Car Seat Repair How to Video - 3M Auto Vinyl/Leather Repair Kit - ABTL Auto Extras

So what do you do when the leather or vinyl in your car rips or tears? Well Travis Lamb from 3M Automotive shows us how to repair your leather car seat in a couple of simple steps. As vehicles get a bit older, the leather seats can deteriorate and rip. The 3M Leather/Vinyl Kit is very simple to use and has all the necessary items you need to perform this repair at home. The main point of the product is to stop rips from continuing to get bigger, but is also can repair and mask those tears too!

First off get the backing material and cut out a piece larger than the rip you want to fix. Place that fabric behind/under the leather itself. Next, take the adhesive and work it into the affected area making sure the adhesive fills the rip completely. Once that is dried you can mix up the correct color using the supplied mixing guide. Mix the colors and hold it up to your leather to ensure a close match. Then apply the color to the dried adhesive. Finally take the textured material along with the heat transfer tool (which can be heated up using an iron), heat up the material which will bleed the fabric onto your repaired surface.
