Hey I have a small tear in both seats that looks like it can be fixed. I know they sell vinyl fix-kits that are $$$$$$. Is there any way that I can fix this on my own w/o buying a replacement kit. They are not that big maybe 1.5 inches on both of them, I'll take pictures once I get home and show you guys what I'm dealing with.
Thanks |

You have to sew the new vinyl back on to the original seat vinyl. There are some metal rods sewen (sp?) into the vinyl. These rods are what clips to the frame of the seat. It took me about 2 1/2 hours to fix the one seat. The only thing you can notice is that the new vinyl is just a little bit shinier than the old. The texture matches exactly.
They had all sorts of types in the store. Fake snake skin anyone? I'll post a pick tonight. Dave |
