Torn Vinyl

[Injun Joe]

I managed to catch the lace hook on my right boot on the back of my Mustang seat tearing a little V in it. I'm sick about it. I know the ghetto thing to do would be duct tape, but is there a better way to patch the vinyl a little short of getting it replaced. I was wondering about that spray sealant the guy uses on the late night infomercials maybe?

Ah man! Sorry to hear.

I don't have a recommendation as I haven't been in the market for this type of repair, but I think miracles can be performed nowadays. I'm sure there's a product out there that can make this brand new again.

It's been awhile since I've seen it, but I know there is a product for repairing vinyl. You can even texture it. One place you might try, and this is really out there, is Walgreens on the aisle where all the goofy tv ad products are displayed. Or...you might check with an upholstery guy, but whatever you do, don't do anything until you find the right product or the right guy to fix it. Don't despair, it can be fixed.

Hey Joe do yourself a favor and find a local upholstery shop. They can work miracles.

That stuff is for use only if you want to make an unsinkable boat out of your F6.

I have fixed a cig burn on my trucks tonneau cover before with pretty good results.
I think I bought the vinyl repair kit at a local auto parts place its been a while ago.

I repaired a torn honda vinyl seat a few years ago with a simple repair kit that I found at a local Auto Parts store.
I did have to remove the vinyl from the seat to repair it.

Good Luck

I know your pain. Try a fabric shop, they used to have vinyl repair kits, you applied them from the inside of the material so you might have to take the seat cover off. Probably get it from a local upholstery outlet too. Recall fixing my KZ seat with one of these, aeons ago.

If you didn't already do it, you might want to get started by Googling 'vinyl repair kits' - it will yield a lot of results, and give you a good idea of what's available.
