I guess it was only a matter of time with a 95 pound dog that hates jet skis on board that the vinyl would get a rip. I have a "corner" shaped tear about 1/2" on each side in a cockpit bench seat, right in the "tan" part of the seat.
I'm pretty sure the best outcome would be just to take it over to the vinyl shop and have them fix it, but it would also sit there for 2 weeks and I kind of need a seat for the next 6 weeks. Maybe it's an offseason thing.
Are any of the DIY kits work a damn? Several seem to have color mixing options for color matching, but it looks kind of challenging unless they come with a "Sea Ray Tan" recipe. Most of the online reviews I've read are kind of mixed, with most people saying the kits available are generally decent repairs but the cosmetic results are iffy unless you do it all the time.
My tear is small enough that I think a self-repair effort would be worth a go in the short term.
