Perforated leather is ripping

2015 Golf 1.8 - admittedly I should've conditioned the seats a bit more of this past winter. But, i just noticed some cracking in the perforations on the drive side of the seat.
I am thinking that I can dab a very small amount of super glue in the hole/rip...and it might prolong the inevitable?

Can someone talk me out of that idea, should be it a bad one?
Any recommendations? Or just find a leather person local to me?

There are a couple of other spots too (circled in picture below) where it’s just starting to crack / split.

I personally wouldn’t try a DIY fix with superglue. I’d discuss options with an auto-trimmer. I think they should be able to remove the seat cover and glue a leather patch to the underside, which would strengthen the affected areas and ought to stop them deteriorating further.
