Has no one restitched their leather seats?

[BMWCurves]

I have never. It's something I'd leave to an upholsterer, personally. Once you poke a hole in leather it's there forever and I don't trust myself to that on a trial run.

So, the stitching on one of the seat cushion seams popped when I absentmindedly put my hand on it to push myself up.

It's really hard for me to see that as carelessness. Sounds like a flaw in your particular vehicle...

It's not a common occurrence...

Agreed. That probably would've been an issue anyway even without pushing yourself up on it.

Maybe..check for cocaine hidden inside the seats?

Not really a hole, tho. I also just noticed the rear bottom cushion has a similar 'rip' but not as long. I'll probably just visit an upholsterer...

The cover is going to have to come off to fix that. I'd take it to an upholstery shop

Leatherique Question -

The leather in my car is a bit dirty, so I thought its time I clean it. I know a lot of people recommend leatherique products so i just wanted to understand how it works.

First, I vacuum all of the leather to remove any large dust particles.
Next, I apply the rejuvinator oil over the leather and leave it where it gets lots of sunlight and after a while, I just wipe the product off with a soft cloth which should remove all the dirt, dust, etc etc, correct?
Next I apply the pristine clean on the leather correct?

Is this the right process? Have I missed anything? Thanks!

Rejuvenator oil - leave it on for as long as you can. A full day is enough, longer is better, as long as the car is HOT inside.
When done, you remove the excess with Pristine Clean. You will probably need multiple applications of Pristine Clean to get the tackiness to go away.
I like to wipe it off with a wet, damp cloth after using Pristine Clean.
