Ive got small tears starting to form on my seats. About half the size of a hole punch. Any suggestions to fix this up?

Whatever you do, don't hire a guy who whips out the spray gun and tries to blend the patch in. It may look good to start with but it will mildew terribly.

Make sure you get the kit that has the flat iron with it.
I think it is Permatex. Make sure you practice a little first, but all in all it can come out really great.

I think I bought the kit from West Marine. Has a little hot iron (looks like a mini metal detector). The hardest part was getting the color to match. It has held up well, but I did notice some color change. I might re-apply some color before this summer.
