Split in leather

The seats on my old Rover are leather. I do try and keep them clean and fed with hide food - but the front passenger one has developed a split on the side bolster. Not all the way across the panel, but more in the middle. Strange given it gets much less use than the driver's one.

Could it be glued? I don't mind seeing a crease as that's just patina.

I'd be willing to pay for a new panel to be fitted. I'm not sure my sewing skills would be up to it. I could remove the cover and send it somewhere. Any recommendations?

Stitch from the inside and it will turn into a crease?

Superglue works really well on leather.

Hence surgeons started using it on human leather

I have used a car trimming place local to me

Volvo v70 black leather

About 60ukp + vat for 3 new panels about 6 years back

About the same for one different new panel in 2010

New seat foam on Isuzu trooper being done next week 70ukp + vat

I just drop the car off done same day

Didn't seem worth messing with myself ant that price

Any suggestions on how to pull it together and hold it like that while the glue sets? It's obviously quite tightly stretched over the rummer filling.
