Leather seat issues

[Techguy82]

I have a used 402a and noticed some very slight "cuts" in the leather on the back seat. Not sure if it was caused by PO or by my dog who rode in the truck once on the way to the groomers. What's the best way to fix this? The cuts dont seem to gi all the way through, just cut like halfway through the perforrated leather seat bottom. Mainly i just want to prevent it from ripping/tearing any further. Also, what does everyone recommend for cleaning and conditioning the leather? Thanks!

No idea how to repair that, but obviously going forward use a dog hammock or seat cover for the pup.

Yeah, I should have at least folded up both rear seats before transporting the dog

I picked up one of these and some bushwhacker door protectors (the 27" seemed like it fit better than the 4Knines) Works well so far and I like the divider since the little bastard of the herd likes to try and jump up front. 4Knines has codes once in a blue moon and I'm sure everyone knows how to price jockey Amazon...I snagged both for $130

Can also look up your local leather repair guy. They can fix.

Caught my driver seat back and tore on something, no idea when it happened (only 6 months old) Looking into options on fixing

Ah man that sucks! I wish I could have gotten the cloth seats in a 402a.

Yikes. Just a fyi that the seat covers are available from ford as well if really bad. I checked on a passenger bottom
Cover for line and it was about $400

Do you have a link by chance? I would consider swapping out the leather covers for the cloth ones if I could find them.

I don’t. I just called a dealership and the parts guy was able to look up. Just have your vin handy to make their life easy.

I'd get an opinion from a shop who does upholstery. You want it fixed right and your truck's new so, I'd see about that. Then, get something to cover the back seat for Dogos.

Yep, I called a mobile guy today. He is coming out to fix it. he says he'd have to charge me his minimum which is $175, but then it's fixed the right way.

Yep, I know it’s expensive. I snagged my seat in my Legacy getting out with my damn knife in my pocket (clip) and the estimate was $300 to replace the panel. So, I fixed it myself which looks like crap but it was during the pandemic so I had no time due to work. Now, I hav an awesome truck so, it’ll just remain a flaw in my “other car.” Lol
