Just find a mobile service company in your area that specializes in the repair, restoration, and renewal of leather, plastic, vinyl, fabric, and upholstery. Get some estimates. They know all the processes and materials that need to be used.
This is a multi-step process that includes gluing a backing material with a flexible reinforcement, filling cracks, sanding, polishing, repainting and clearcoating.

I would replace the seat cover, or look for a pick your parts salvage car to get a seat from. I had the same perforated seats in my 04 Honda Pilot, after a few visits to the local salvage yard until a clean seat showed up. I only took the bottom part of the seat, $20.

I don’t think that is a GOOD idea!

With perforated leather, replacement might be your only idea. The repair recommendation a few posts above is understandable, but very difficult for perforated leather as any patch will have to line up with the perforation of the seat. Plus, it can get expensive.

I had to buy leather covers for my 2006 MDX as the vehicle itself was outlasting the leather. If the rest of the seat looks good, I think finding a matching bottom - or bottom cover - is your best bet.

Here's an example of my perforated saddle leather replacement (OEM material)...keep in mind $177 will be cheaper than having a leather craftsman repair your seat...
