I'm wondering, once the covers are on how you would ever know.

looks like someone earlier was pulling and pushing on the foam as if they were trying to install it. I would just get some spray adhesive, spray and let the glue set up for a few minutes, then push it together. And the skins will push it together so there is no way it will get worse. As 4Vettes said, once it is assembled no one will know....except us.

I would install as-is, once covers are on this is a non issue.

I would feel comfortable covering these foams and installing them. Seats should look nice and function well when completed!

I got my foams from TFA a couple weeks ago, I didn't see anything like that with mine.

Once the covers are on, I'm not sure how those [minor] tears would be an issue. I agree that they shouldn't have that damage. But today's "quality" is not that good....
