My car is an oldie and the (I think) vinyl is torn here. I know

Go to a fabric/upholstery shop, bring a piece of the vinyl for color matching, buy a sheet of vinyl, copy the shape of the old piece and sew it together.

this material is pretty old and slightly hardened. I'm not sure if it'd sew on that well, and the sewing holes seem like they would get worn quickly. This is just what I imagine.

Plus I don't think it'd look very good to have some patched on spot on my seat. Not really the aesthetic I'm going for with this car.

I think he meant to replace the whole piece.

He did.

The only way to fix that is to replace the whole cover now. But you may want to get some window tint or a reflector visor and use it everytime you park.

But to try to prevent this as its all probably pretty brittle is to go ahead and condition the rest of the panels. With vinyl conditioner. To try to prevent other seats cracking.

So there's no way I can use one of the techniques here for example?

I think the biggest issue would be getting it color matched, correct? But in worst case scenario I could vinyl dye the whole seat so it would be uniform.
I imagine getting the whole cover replaced would really hit my wallet hard.

Color matching isn't a too big of an issue since it's a section and any decent fabric shop should have a close color in stock.

I wouldn't bother with using the methods in that video for your fix. The vinyl looks in pretty bad condition from UV and age and wouldn't hold up with a spot fix like that. It's possible that you could cause another rip while fixing it.

If you REALLY wanted to you could try gluing a patch underneath since it doesn't look like you're missing chunks, but I'd be wary since the edges looks pretty dried out. It's worth a shot if you have adhesive lying around and get a piece of scrap vinyl for free. Worst case, it doesn't work and you get to reupholster it properly.

Guess it depends if I want to drop $10 on a kit to even try... The picture makes the hole look alot bigger than it is btw.

Maybe I'll try that until my budget is abit more open too. Kinda hoping it doesn't work so I have the excuse, heh.

Thanks anon!!

Walmart sells a patch kit?
