Re: Can I (quick) Fix these seats ?
Certainly some leather conditioner will soften up hardened leather (I think Leatherique is called for in this circumstance, although I've never used it. I did have some surprising success with Lexol on some hardened leather or faux leather door trim).
I'm not sure what you are expecting any of us to say about the holes and missing material in the perforated portion--how could you "fix" that without replacing it? Maybe some careful cleaning will remove the tape residue and make it look a little better.

I think I've seen a video some time ago, where they glue a patch under the hole, then fill the hole with some sort of leather-putty. It's been a while, but though maybe some of the more experienced detailers, or detailers who dabble in various physical repairs might have experience patching these sorts of things

Sure, there are some patch systems that use a "putty", although my recollection is those are for vinyl, rather than leather, but I've never heard of one for perforated sections. Maybe I'll be surprised.

Throw some seat covers over it.
