Seat tear

I have a one inch "V" tear on my 2011 Apex seat. What is the best way to repair this before if gets worse? THANKS.

shoe goo works well

I have used those vinal repair kits (with the iron) from auto parts stores with good success.

I used a hot glue gun as a quick fix on mine and it held up for an entire 800km of riding.

Super glue 'gel' version worked well also...this was for a very smal V-shaped tear.

A small anount of clear RTV applied under the tear then stitch up with matching sowing thread. Works great.

Jesus those fixes sound terrible, too nice a sled for that. I work on cars and occasionally we screw up a dash, seat what have you. We have a guy come in that does this kind of thing and it isn't bad price wise. I had a 01 srx I bought used and a friend tore it with his metal boot lace guide. Took the seat off and gave it to this guy...had it 3 years and forgot which side it was on! His repair was that good and it didn't cost me a penny to fix either...normal charge would have been around $30. Call a new/used car dealer and get the name of there vinyl/dash repair guy.

Thank you all for the input. Just brought the sled home from the UP this week.
