Help. Tear in seat
- Thread starter nelliott
- Start date
I don't know where or how big the tears are. If they are all the way through, I get some similar suitable material and insert it as a backer and apply one of the Goop products through the tear so it coats the top of the material and the underside of the seat. If the split or tear has a wide gash you can use tape to hold it together until the Goop sets up.

A "Touring Tip" I recently published involved a member who applied liquid electrical tape (available at hardware stores) to a tear in his seat. Thought of it as a 'temp' repair, but so satisfied with it (with many additional miles in the saddle since) that it became his permanent repair.
Might consider that?!

Seat tear and wear
I found that a bead of "Shoe Goo" will adhere to seats and protect a spot that is going to get bigger. With some pressure through Saran Wrap it will ooze inside the tear and adhere from the backside of the tear as well.
Hardware stores and Running Shoe stores sell it to build up worn corners of soles and general shoe repairs. It glues flapping soles back on etc. Manufactured by Eclectic Products, Pineville LA.
