replace/repair driver's seat because of wear

[Russell]

My Parchment color leather driver's seat is starting to show wear on the edge of the bolster when you silde in. What is the best approach to fix? Should I replace teh cover or repair the seat?. If I repair, can it be repaired correctly (color match etc.) by a local shop? Perhaps I can order leather from the dealer. Perhaps there is a replacement cover you can buy. By the way, I have heated seats.

TIA

Depending on how severe it is you could probably just get it repaired. I just had mine fixed a couple weeks ago. I went to a local shop that deals with all types of vehicles. I actually posted some before and after pictures (I was prolly a little overexcited :) )

Looks really great- about $90 excellent price!
