Any advice for leather repair???

I left a flashlight on my passenger seat one evening and came out to my car the next afternoon to a horrifying sight!!! Apparently it was hot enough to cause the battery to explode inside the flashlight and leak battery acid on my leather seat! I have about a dime size hole in my leather now!!!

Are there any products that would be recommended to repair such a hole or should I try to find a shop that will do it professionally?

HELP!

If it burned there is no product to fix it, might wanna find a shop to replace the leather section. Only thing that I can think of..

You can patch it, but you'll always be able to see it.


I'd suggest attempting a heavier contrasting color leather cut into a pattern. Put it on both seats and make it look like a design instead of a cover up.

You could try to find an upholstery shop and see what they would charge to fix it.. my guess would be a ton

Other option is to just put on seat covers.
