vinyl cracks in back seat
 
I have a few small cracks on my vinyl seat rite up on the top was wondering if there is anything i can fill it with or somebody told me i can melt it back with a vinyl iron or something. So if anybody has any tips let me know dont really feel like taking backseat out and bringing it to upohlstry shop just want a fix for this year

Is there a Dr. Vinyl close by? Dropped a speaker box and the corner poked a hole in my back seat once and they came to the boat and did a fantastic job in about 10 minutes

ill check into that but was wondering if anybody ever tried one of those repair kits with the heated iron and all

I have used gel super glue to keep crack from running.

Hummm, if this is just a temporary fix, their is a spray can of vynl paint at Lowes you can get. It is under the Outdoor spray can stuff. I think its made by crylon?? I would suggest tapping off before spraying.

I would really only suggest this a temporary fix, after a 2 seasons it will probably look worse than now.:cool:

I've used the hot iron repair kit from WM before to fix a small tear on my fairing before. It did a really good job and was only noticable if you knew it was there. But the material was still soft and like new. I assume yours is cracked from sun and age making it somewhat hard. Might not have much luck repairing that.

The vinyl repair kits work ok on a small tear or cut. However, if your vinyl is cracking, it may be time for some reuphpolstery. If you are in New England, I can take care of your upholstery needs.
