    My low mileage (35,000) 2010 Prius IV with “leather” (softex) upholstery has a badly worn section on the drivers seat. Does anyone know of a repair, maybe a high class duct tape?

    I had similar, but not as severe, wear as you show to the softex driver's seat. I used "Permatex Vinyl & Leather Repair Kit, Item #81781". It repaired the damage and stopped it from getting worse. The kit contains everything you need, including a small heating iron.

    With heated seats I don't want to go with seat covers if there is another way.
