Aside from removing the seat covering from the frame and having the vinyl bolster replaced, the only other way would be to just purchase a whole new cover from the manufacturer and installing it onto the seat frame. Either way will probably be a similar cost. You can try a vinyl repair kit but those types of repairs do not usually last very long.

Thank you much. I knew it would be something like that. It is a 2005; I say, seat covers. My husband thought it would be an easy fix but I knew that wouldn't be the case.

It actually is a pretty easy fix (replacing that bolster panel) for a pro auto upholstery guy. If you take the lower seat cover off and take it in, he/she will use a seam ripper to remove the damaged vinyl section, use the old section as a pattern for the new one to be cut then quickly sew the new one back in with his industrial sewing machine in the matter of minutes.

A few hog rings and a pair of hog ring pliers and you can have the cover back on in minutes.

The hardest part is paying the bill for him to do it.
