Amazon has highly rated leather patches for like $20
I would call the dealer and ask for the name of the leather repair person they use to fix leather in their used cars.
I damaged the drivers seat of my Acura by sitting down with a scissors in my back pocket. (Please don't ask how I could be so stupid). Left an "L" shaped tear about 1/2 " with a gouge about 1" long.
The repair involved placing a reinforcing piece of leather behind the tear, roughing up the damaged surface, then using a polymer to fill in the gouge and seam of the tear. The repair is sanded smooth and painted with a leather paint custom mixed to match the adjacent leather.
The repair is indistinguishable from the rest of the seat. Has been durable over the past year.
Total cost was $125

So I put a hole in the Grand Prix bolster by accident. Had a screw driver in my pocket. A local shop fixed a side just like that with new leather for 190 dollars. It was worth every penny. It matched perfect and replace a good portion of the leather.

Reason why to NEVER slide across the bolster when getting into your car.
call the seat shop (www.theseatshop). they hooked me up on a huge seam tear in the yukon. I put a new cover on and cleaned the other seat's leather. still holding strong.
they don't list your vehicle, but they are good guys. I suspect they have a source similar to theirs for your ride.

Amazing video....
My wife needed to replace her leather drivers seat base cover on her 2005 Explorer. She did a lot of research and bought a factory fit one from theseatshop.com. They were reasonable, helpful and the replacement leather seat cover was a perfect color match and fit. They also sell all cushion parts to fix your seat.

Didn't see your post before I posted. theseatshop.com is great to deal with.
