Default Cracks in leather seats..

Hi, I bought my '01 GPW S2000 about a month ago. The passenger seat is in great condition but the drivers seats has cracks on it. I'm guessing because the previous owner did not clean it that often. Is there any way to repair these cracks or is all I can do is clean it on a regular basis so that it doesn't crack any more? Thanks.

best bet is to work a preservative into the leather to prevent further problems...

clean first with a high quality leather cleaner, then work the preservative into the leather.
i like townsend products as my first choice, and vinylex products as my second choice (for leather).

I condition and clean my leather at least once a month and i still have a small crack in the bolster. It's not great leather in this car.

Yes you can repair it but it usually won't last that long because of the constant wear and tear on the seat. You can check out Leatherique's Products they have everything you need to renovate your leather.
