GT Seat Repair

[snpower]

What are you guys using to patch small rips/tears?

A seat cover.

I said repair, not cover/ignore. I have a seat cover.

No "repair" that I am aware of. Only replace the seat. (or put a cover over it).

Yellow duct tape ?

I repaired the seat on my JD rider with Plasti Dip. It worked so good. It’s the stuff you dip your plier handles in and stuff. First I got some of the mesh you would use for sheet rock that has adhesive on it. I put that on the tear then coated with the Plasti Dip. I let it dry and put on 4 or 5 coats. It worked very well.

Didn’t mean to post it twice, buy it the Plasti Dip comes in yellow too.

If I were you, I'd buy an aftermarket CLOTH or CORDURA seat and be done with it. I don't like sitting on a vinyl seat, never have, only thing a vinyl seat does is give you a sweaty butt, cracks in cold weather and tends to look awful as they age. In fact, I tossed the OEM vinyl seat on my Kubota M9 open station and replaced it almost immediately with a Cordura seat. Put the vinyl seat on the curb and it vanished... good riddance.

I all those repairs were done a year ago. The mower is 13 years old. The mesh is needed to keep the tears together before applying the Plasti Dip. Apply a coat, let it dry, apply another, etc.

Very respectable-looking repairs. Thank you for the pics and the method used.

I use an appropriate size piece of vinyl tucked inside and glued with flexible fabric glue
