What to use to repair small tears in vinyl seats

[Old Ironmaker]

When I had the top folded down someone must have leaned back against the frame and I got about 6 small 1/2" tears on the seat back. I tried to repair 1 tear with real Crazy Glue but not only didn't it stick it yellowed. I am glad I only tried it on 1 tear. I no longer have the top on as I never used it anyway. Gorilla Glue expands and sets yellow too. I don't want to make it worse. Maybe I should try whatever I choose on the vinyl under the seat you can't see.

Any suggestions all?

Best way is to have the damaged vinyl replaced

Maybe the best not the most economical Scott. These seat backs have the StarCraft logo stitched into the vinyl as well as a mash seat pouch. I couldn't even guess what that would cost.to replicate.

The vinyl is partially torn, not all the way through the backing. The outer white layer has peeled back from the inner grey layer is the best way to describe it. Thanks anyway.

My guess about $350-$400, including duplicating the embroidered logo

So the base fabric is not torn?

I recently bought some vinyl/upholstery clear glue from eBay...in an effort to reduce stitching strain or worsening on my sun pad. Seems to be doing the trick so far.
