Default Best way to repair a seat tear

I have a tear in my seat. What's the best way to repair it so it doesn't get worse and so that it isn't as noticeable?

i THINK there are some businesses that specialize in that type of repair (if you want it to look good). to prevent the spread, use duct tape (but that is a little on the ugly side).

If money is tight and you don't want to buy a new cover, you can try one of these:

If the tear isn't too bad, there are products at auto part stores for repairing car dashboards and seats. It is an rubbery-epoxy type resin and you get these blending sheets to help match the grain.

The other option is to take the cover off and use an iron-on patch on the backside.

Yep. I bought a new seat cover from ebay for my Blaster for $30, looks pretty nice for the price.
