My ‘66 C10 has a very old brown vinyl replacement seat cover. It is in surprising good shape for its age, but some of the seams have come apart. And the vinyl is dry. Not brittle, but stiff. I’m trying to figure out the best way to repair/ sew the seams back together and rejuvenate the vinyl. Is there any treatment that will do that? Some magic juice… I know leather can be restored to some extent, but I don’t know about vinyl. Thanks!
Pre sewn covers are so cheap, I'd buy a new one rather than waste time on that seat. It will never look good because of those tears.

I agree with Otto. You’ll never be happy with your existing cover with any repair. Nothing on the market is going to magically fix that tear, to your satisfaction. A new cover is not that hard to install.
