Cracking pleather on seats...

[SayNoToPistons]

THe Leather seats on my Infiniti isn't 100% leather in all areas. The part where you sit on is leather but the side is pleather. The side of the driver left bolster (butt part) is starting to crack a bit at the seams. Two 1/4 inch cracks have formed and it's slowly growing. I keep the seats conditioned but that doesn't seem to help the pleather. Is there a way to prevent the crack from growing at a fast past?

Call a reputable vinyl/leather repair co. (that's a lot of what I do, but I'm 3000 mi. from you) You could try jb weld or epoxy yourself for a quick fix, but no guarantee that will hold for too long and it's kinda cheesy for a high dollar auto. If you do use that, be extra careful not to glob on too much.

iggee seat covers are nice cover up till you go all out. at least on my Acura legend. paid 80 for the two bucket front seats.

You could try some flexible adhesive like VLP. I use to get it at Home Depot, but I think you can get it at Harbor Freight now.

hmm "another QX4" with cracking leather haha





my 1999 QX4 just showed its first crack in the leather

I might try that flexible adhesive that quality leather mentioned. I dont care about the looks - i just want to stop the tear before it engulfs the whole side of the seat.

Either polish them with a good leather polish or you can get them replaced by new one
