Help! One of my children "accidentally" put a mark about 2" long across the middle back of my T5's taupe leather driver's set. <IMG SRC="http://www.swedespeed.com/ubb/eek.gif"> The weapon of choice was a brand new blue ball point pen. <IMG SRC="http://www.swedespeed.com/ubb/mad.gif"> Does anyone have any suggestions on how to remove the mark? (Suggestions involving the use of razor blades on either the seat back or the children will be ignored)<BR>

Leather can be repaired. I would go to a reputable interior shop and have them repair that panel, that is of course if leather conditioner didn't take it out, which it might.

...hasn't happened to my S40 yet *knock on wood* but I would agree and try some leather cleaner first...like a Lexol's.

Try using hairspray. Hairspray dissolves ink from a ball point pen. This also works in clothing. Spray hairspray on the affected area and wipe off right away. It may take 2 or 3 applications, but it will work.
