Default Leather cracking

ahhhhhhhhhhhh damnit my drivers seat is starting to crack on the upper portion closest to the door. I condition my leather constantly but I have no idea how the person who owned the car before me treated it. I was searching the forum and saw that some people recommended leatherique, I was curious if anyone has tried it or knows someone who has. Suggestions welcome.

I had a similar problem in my Land Rover, so I applied it after seeing this page - http://home.insightbb.com/~todd.kenyon/leather.htm

Funny, this link still works, and was on my favorites.

However, one thing, the cracks started to re-appear after 4-5 months.I never tried it again, and replaced the front seats. Still, worth trying and not bad for 70 bucks I paid for it at the auto shop.

+1 on finding out how to cover up tears. I've got a small one in my driver's seat from my dad getting into the car with a screwdriver in his pocket.[:@]
