    .... the seat, that is.

    The wife managed to snag her boot on the seat as she was getting off the
    bike (Blackbird) this morning, and now there's a small (1/4 inch) triangular
    shaped tear in the covering. I don't know if it could be easily repaired or
    not, so I'm after ideas to stop water getting in and/or the tear getting
    bigger. At the moment, the best I can come up with it black duct tape, which
    is going to look a bit shit, or Araldite under the fabric and a black marker
    pen on top.

    Any better solutions?

    Ebay - there's nearly always a seat on auction - prices from around
    £20.

    Bit of black vinyl carefully tucked under the tear and Araldite. Temporarily
    at least.

    Then peel her scalp off & use it to repair the seat.

    Well, that's a given, but I need to fix the seat too.

    Fat people sometimes have wives. In my case, /someone else's/ wife.

    There's a glue called Vinylweld, which I've used in the past, to great
    effect. There are also patch kits for air beds, li-los, etc, available
    from camping shops. These include a variety of patch material and some
    vinyl glue.

    Re: Your gaffer tape suggestion. I did this for about two months
    until it fell off, now there is an unmovable white square mark on the
    seat which I imagine is the glue from the gaffer tape. I doubt it'll
    ever come out.
