How to remove leather from seats?

Hi I need help. I had some silly putty stuck to my jeans that got on to the seat. Don't ask me how I got it on there in the first place. In any case, I was able to remove most of it from my jeans and the surface but there is silly putty stuck in the little holes in the seat and it has oozed behind so I need to take off the leather to clean it from behind. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I would take it to a reputable upholstery company in your area and ask them to remove it for you. Leather is very pliable and can tear relatively easily. It would also require expertise to ‘re-stretch’ it while re-installing.
