Hey, First time posting. Looking for information re buying oem leather. I want to replace a panel on a KIA seat. Interior is mint accept where a carseat damaged a panel. Thoughts are to replace just the damaged area, what suppliers handle this type of thing? Thanks

@Christian Lowe ,

In my experiences you are looking at buying a half or whole hide. I have not had any luck finding pieces like that for repairs.

Thanks, that's what I figured but never hurts to ask. Cheers

Yeah finding OEM leather or vinyl is a pain. On top of that if you can find it its usually not a color match because the leather in your car has faded. What I would sugest is looking for a vinyl that matches the color of your seats and just replace the panel with vinyl. Otherwise you have to spend a lot of money for a full or half hide.

Hope this helps
