As a temporary fix by some upolstery thread and a upolstery needle, it is curved. Turn the ripped ends inward to the foam and sew it up. There is nothing I know of to "rub" on it. Mine did the same as most f bodies do. This is what I ended up doing until my wife makes new leather covers in two tone to replace my worn leather.

it isnt bad yet. what i could do before it gets worse i can switch the top parts of my front seats. that way the rip will be on the inside of the passenger seat and it wont get worse and it wont be noticed.

If some one gets a cloth seat cover, sends it to me and gets the leather, I'm sure we could work somthing out. Need the cloth seat cover for making the pattern.

I would need actual seat covers from the car. Not aftermarket ones. You could even go to the bone yard and snag some off the seats.
