Rip in seat

I have a rip in my drivers side seat and was wondering if anyone has any ideas or experience fixing a tear.

Let me guess, the driverside bolster? If it is I have heard everywhere between $150 and $500 for local upholstery shop to fix it. If it's in the seat itself I would have no idea. When my bolster poked thru I bought a set of sheepskins from another Forum member for $50. I intend to do the VE interior someday.

My bolster just has an annoying rub mark in it that I've had retouched a few times and still comes back.

There is a vendor around here called Dr. Vinyl that specializes in repairing leather and vinyl seating problems. Whatever they use, the results are amazing. You may want to see if there is something similar in your locale.
