That sucks man Fixing leather isn't the easiest thing. You might be able to go to a specialized tailor and buy a leather repair kit(probably not worthwile but that all depends on how bad the rip is) Or take it to a leather specialist and see what he says. Where I work we have to send out ripped leather jackets all the time, and if it's ripped on the panel then it can cost big money($60-100). The leather in the RX8 is pretty high quality as well. Your other option would be to ask Mazda what to do. They may be the most expensive route, but I think they might be able to do the best job. I hope everything works out for you man.

try mazmart, a sponsor of this website. They salvage 8's and might have what you need.

i say dont mess arround, dont buy no repair kit, they just make a bigger mess, sound harsh but i say try to find the seat from another 8 or get it repaired proffesionaly cause last thing you want is a chunk of glue on your seat.
