The leatherette of my Driver Side Front Seat

Any Solution are welcome, I am at Toronto.
Any Recomandation or any Audi lover are willing
to help? Thanks so much.

Easy to do, no worries if you have ANY mechanical skill at all. Carson is da' man---->
He works for a dealer, gets us OEM parts at a good price.
Look here on the forum, you'll see his name - email him for part quote.
Not sure but Joe at Axis Motorsport can probably get it too.

I think I have a spare one...
is that ecru? I did a post in the tech section and B5FAQ for heated seats...you can see if you want to DYI. Personally I'd order the cover new from Carson, I'd hate to install a used cover and have it rip in six months. The DYI is easy, really. Let me know if you want the used cover I have.

Mine is Cracking in the same Place too...
Not to take business away from Carson, but over on the Canadian forum Neil at Owasco Audi in Whitby is the Canadian equivalent to Carson. He goes by the alias 3078a4 or you can email him neil.brands@owasco.com. Post in the Canadian form and Neil should be able to help you out.
I looked in to replacing mine and it was about $300 for the cover but that was 2 years ago, but for sure look around maybe Carson will be cheaper but you'll have to pay shipping, duties etc...
