    Default replace/repair driver's seat because of wear

    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
    Thanks,

    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 )
