6k 6 months old and got a nice rip in my leather. Mind you the rear seatshave been occupied maybe 3 times and nothing is hauled in this thing, not even fast food. Up close this "higher" end leather looks like cheap cardboard, not even tough cardboard. Un f'en believable!

That really does look like a puncture wound IMO. If the wife and or kids know how much you love your truck, they'll never own up to it. Call @Tonyrodz for a fix

That fix is hard because of the little vent holes. They actually make the leather weak.

I tried using "leather" from the neighborhood bum, but it was too thin. Gotta keep experimenting. Guess he was "Thin Skinned". Lol:chair:

Weak is an understatement. I haven't tried but I imagine you can't scrub this seats with a hard bristle brush, it would get destroyed. I'm now having thoughts of just covering the rear seats with something, maybe some nice lamb skin covers. Kinda lame but what else could I do. This bothers me cause even a cheaper leather jacket would take a beating better than this.

You def don't want to scrub it with a stiff brush. It would damage it even more. Cloth is so much better and durable.
