The corner has been scraped so the covering worn through.
How to fix this?
It would be nice to make invisible repair but ill settle for repair that prevents the cover tearing further or getting worse.

Started to build up the plastic corner. 2 part epoxy with carbon powder. Just waiting for it to set. Is semi solid so can shape it as it still flows. Possibly it may not set due to amount of carbon added but well see.

For the leather plan to use some silicone glue stuff so it is flexible but again mix in carbon powder to colour (stuff i have is white :facepalm:) it and to make it a bit firmer.

Re:

Left the saddle in airing cupboard so epoxy/carbon powder mix set. A bit of filing, sanding and polishing to tidy up.

White silicone glue stuff again with C powder to fill in the leather like covering, a coat of black paint thatll hopefully sink into the surface as the mix turned out dark grey.

That its then, not perfect but it will do.
