2 options

Expensive but correct option, replace the cover from the seat shop (this link is not your color, merely the first one that popped up, contact them for the correct color)


2nd option, the cheaper option that would likely work in the short term, a leather repair kit. I had a couch that i used something like this on, it was an easy repair and worked great, but was in a low traffic area. being the center console lid is relatively high usage/traffic, i might try this, but know i would likely end up replacing the leather on it

I just replace mine with an aftermarket one if they get damaged. That’s not leather, thus the tear. They make new ones every day as they say. I see that model year going for about $50-70 on Amazon. 4 screws later and you’ll never know. They look and work exactly the same. I think they’re all made in the same plant regardless of whose name is on them.
