Repairing Leather Rips - do these kits work?

ve got some BIG rips in the side of my passenger side seat, theres like (3) 4" cuts, and one 2" cut. Its on black leather, and its pretty visible. Finally came to my mind to check if there was an easy DIY. SO I searched ebay, and came across these 2 repair kits.

Ill put some pics up when I get back in tonight

Would either of them work long term? Where the rips are, arent really heavy ware places at all. But Id like it to be almost invisible if possible. I dont know how much each kit can fix and if one kit would even be enough for these rips

Any tips of preferred kits?

Thanks

 
I never thought of that, simply putting a piece of leather/linen underneath the leather where the rip is, and gluing the leather back down onto the piece below it.

There would be a seam, but it wouldnt be ripped.

Would quality superglue hold well?

 
I've sold the first kit you listed at work quite a bit. Not sure how well it actually works, but I haven't had anyone come back and complain yet. You can pick it up at Canadian Tire for $15.

 
those kits dont work for ****, i used them. It held for about two weeks, but was pretty visable and then it just ripped open again. Just get your seats recovered. Or buy a whole seat from a salvage (cheaper)

Never even seen my car in any junkyard, possibly might find one online... $$$

Zipper wouldnt work, the cuts go different directions
