2013 GLK Seat Rip



Hello, so my 2013 GLK with 75K miles has developed a rip in the drivers seat right long one of the stitches. It was not due to puncture or external force. See pictures attached.

What options do I have? I am betting this rip is going to go side to side in no time at all and there will be internal stuffing coming out soon. So disappointing !! I bet new seat cost several thousand dollars so that is not happening. Ideas?

Thanks

So anyone have suggestions on how to remove the seat heater connector when replacing the seat cover? I bought the seat cover but can't get the connector to release on the existing seat cover. I could splice wires but would rather see if anyone has suggestions on how to disconnect the wiring connector/harness first.

Thanks.
