NICA stay away from steamers and leather. Especially natural leather. You will see it dilapidate before your eyes.....

Steamers are great for upholstery or cloth interiors.... just not headliners either because it can cause the headliners to sag. (undoes the glue)

Steam can also compromise the bonds between the hide, the pigment and the polythene
(in a word- re upholstery and refinishing may be required
