Seat Repair
I was wondering what is the best thing to fix cracks and rips in my seat. It started getting bad so i put duct tape over it but I would like to fix it up for next season.

They can be hard to fix. Have you priced a new cover or a used seat on eBay?

Bring it to a local upholstery shop, they should be able to make one for you for a decent price.

They can be repaired, but for the best outcome, go for the new cover.

best stuff i have come across for a quick fix would be the wide electricians insulated patches. they are 4-6" wide and pliable in winter. an electrical supply warehouse is where i found it.

I've used automotive Goop with good results and it has held for 2 seasons so far.
I stuff a cloth in the crack or split lay it out flat then smear Goop in side to bond and use duct tape to bring the split closed and let it cure. then you can remove the duct tape or let it fall off next season.

I found some of that here, so I think I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the help.

this may sound dumb...but can you iron on a patch  ...like a patch for clothes/pants. put the patch on the "inside" of your seat, and face the glue side outward (toward you)...then put a thin cloth over your leather seat, then use an iron to heat everything up.
