I have a 2005 Ford F-250 Harley Davidson with black leather seats. I have the typical leather wear on the driver seat from sliding in and out. Now i have a small tear (see pic below). Is there a quick repair kit or solution to this without taking the cover seat apart???

No quick solution, but, this is probably the most common repair that the auto upholstery pros do. Should not be too expensive to repair.

Where are you located? maybe one of the Forum Members can point you to a good leather repair guy.

It should be a quick repair with an upholstery guy using vinyl but i don't think it'll last since it's a high wear/stress area.

The repair should last at least as long as the original.

They have access to the same leather that was originally used.

The only issue is that the replaced section will look "newer" than the rest of the seat.
