vernonreeve Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I have a couple small puncture holes in the rear seat back rest. Any ideas in something that could fix it and keep it from tearing further? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller fu_man Posted June 22, 2018 Baller Share Posted June 22, 2018 I had a small split and used this. It has kept it from worsening since 2013 and it is a highly trafficked piece of vinyl. Not a repair, but will keep it from splitting further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Deke Posted June 22, 2018 Baller Share Posted June 22, 2018 I use VLP. It's not always pretty depending on the hole or tear, but does not fail since it melts into the vinyl. I have 17 year old repairs still going strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller swc5150 Posted June 22, 2018 Baller Share Posted June 22, 2018 This happened to me once and I got a name of an upholstery repair guy from my dealership. It was about a 1" slit in the observer seat of our 196, which was only a week old at the time, so I was mad. The guy used some glue gun looking thing then airbrushed the color to match. Came out perfect. That's the route I'd go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Garn Posted June 22, 2018 Baller Share Posted June 22, 2018 I'll second the VLP. I used it from a recommendation from BOS and it does work really well. You still see the tear, but it holds great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vernonreeve Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 I saw something else that might work, it's at www.globalsmartrepairs.com and has a cool process of making an impression of the grain, then sealing the cut and painting it with a color mixed to match, then pressing the grain back into it. Not sure if there is anything similar or not. I'll check out the local guys and the vlp product. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
