1. try some stuff its like anti sticker remover that works on all surfaces and removes stickers which should remove the glue
2. Try a swab and acetone. Go over it with saddlesoap after the glue is gone.
3. Use acetone. It's the key ingredient in finger polish remover. Put it on a cotton ball and dab at the super glue. It will disolve it slowey but completely. Don't use too much as it could remove the dye in the leather and that would be just as ugly as the super glue spot. If its a small spot of glue, try using a q-tip instead of the cotton ball.
4. There is actually a product called Super Glue remover. It's usually right next to the Super Glue in a hardware store.
5. There is anti super glue out there. What has worked with one of my friends was to use a razor and very very very carefully cut off as much as you can, then with som super glue remover try a little bit of that, and I would have leather treatment available to condition it right away. on a side note I would test the anti super glue out on the back bottom or some other place on the seat that is not visible to maake sure it doesnt discolor or ruin that specific spot.
6. bag of frozen peas or tub of ice cream, or even plumbers freeze spray. If you freeze it will break off. Bit like getting chewing gum out of clothes.
7. try hot water and cloth
8. There is a super glue remover available from hardware stores. It only softens the glue and you will have to scrape the softened glue off carefully. Try the remover first on a hidden bit to see if it affects the leather. Be prepared to accept some permanent mark on the leather though.
9. Unfortunately like human skin, super glue is particularly good at sticking leather. You will not get it off without removing the top layer of the hide and will probably make it look a worse mess when you try anything
10. try packicking on and around the mark with ice cubes that have been placed in a plastic bag so no water makes contact with the seat and then once the super glue goes very hard it will become brittle and scrape off . good luck
