ok, merry friggin Christmas!

Get the whole family together at my moms. My mom takes my brothers kids home and they crawl into my car by mistake. Long story short. one of the little buggers managed to rip my mint leather seats

. 1 inch rip, clean sides, kinda curls in a bit. Sorry no pics (i know, i know). Any ideas to fix this with as little visibility in the end. its right in the middle of a flat panel of the seat. I looked on leatherique and they dont seem to deal with rips... just cracks in the finish.

replace the panel, It may not be as expensive for a single panel as you think. my ripped a lateral panal and I tried to repair it with one of those iron on kits. I burned a hole and made it worse. Only cost 90 inlcuding the labor at a reupholstry place.
