Yesterday I found a new seat for my 48. It was out of a 50 3100. Looks new and the underside is perfect. Unfortunately, it has 2 small rips from somebody that sat on the seat with a screw driver in his pocket.

Anyone know a good way to fix these holes?

TIA

I'm a sucker for "as seen on tv" commercials. Give this one a try. Some of them actually work pretty well! You might be able to get it in your local shopping mall.

I was thinking of superglue or there is a kit at Autozone.

I was thinking it this heat that duct tape would roll up and make a mess.

yes duct tape doesn't like being sat and slid on, that's why you slip it under the rip grin

superglue won't work unless you can get a good overlap or add a patch piece on top

Forget duct tape, it's not even code to use on ducts! Seriously, if you have a vinyl seat with puncture wounds, I've been told that miracle vinyl patch stuff can actually work, but have not tried it myself. Let us know if you use it.
