Replacing Perforated Leather is300h??

[Stephen Mullen]

Hi. I've recently bought a 2015 IS300h. However, there's a small tear on the leather on the passenger's side and patching it wont work due to the location of the tear. Does anyone know where I could get a strip of the leather as I can get the whole panel on the seat replaced by someone here in Dublin if I can locate the exact leather... Any ideas?

Thanks!

[200h]

i would have a look at the car breakers in irelend,or are there any companies that retrim car interiors or boats

as they could possibly make a replacement panel and machine it back in to the cover for you.

A good leather repair specialist should be able to do it and match the colour so that you would never know its there.

While we are talking about perforated leather, I am having a lot of trouble getting out something white that has got onto the (black) seat. The surface wipes clean easily but the perforations hold the impurity and it shows as a few white dots on the seat. I am a bit cautious about using something like a pin to clear the holes because of the seat heaters.

Leather cleaners do not seem to help. Any suggestions?

Thanks. This works perfectly and is just the right size. I don't know why I didn't think of it.
