Accidentally cut my leather seats!

I accidentally cut my leather seats while driving with a 5 Gallon bottle of water in the passenger rear seat. What happened was that I broke really hard when some idiot cut me off and the bottle tipped over and due to the weight of the bottle, the lid of it put a hole in the rear side of my front right passenger seat. Do you guys know of any way to fix this? If so, PLEASE tell me, it's my 6th week with this G35 ! Thanks in advance!

Ask your dealer who they use to do leather/vinyl repair or find some other suitable reference preferably. If not use the yellow pages for uphostery repair.
A good person should be able to do the repair and give you a good color match. I haven't checked but think that part of the seat is vinyl. Post up a picture so we can see it and I'll give you an estimate of what they may charge.

I had this same problem. I was fixing my fence and had my screwdriver sticking out of my back pocket...sat in my front seat, and there ya go! I called someone in the phonebook, and he did a pretty good job. It was tough to fix because of those tiny holes in the leather. He was able to match the color and put small holes into the patch so that it looked like the rest of the seat. Excellent job...hardly noticable.
If I had to do it over again though, I would of called the dealership to ask who they get to repair leather. Just to get peace of mind I guess.
