I would take that as a sign that it is time for new seat covers and foam. The other option would be to take it to an interior specialist for repair.

How big is the tear? Post a picture of the seat so we can get a better idea of what to recommend. If you Google "leather car seat repair kit" there's several DIY kits that you could possible do yourself.

i had a seam split on back rest of the seat. i was able to locate on craigs list, someone selling this cover only ( $100.00 ).
took about 15 - 20 minutes to swap out. the only issue was, was mine as the heated seats, the replacement wasn't set up for that. just a small cut was needed to allow the heater cable to pass through.
if it's the seat pad section, i've got to believe it would be just as much work time wise.

My guess is that the OP won't even be back to this thread he started a week ago.
