Seat Rip | How to Repair | Where to look

[Sac Surfer]

Just as the title says, looking for advice to get my seat repaired or cover replaced. It's a 2010 210 with white & silver vinyl ,blue,black piping trim.
The seat is one of the flip ups on the starboard side in the corner, not the reversible seat across the back.Pics attached, sorry for the poor quality on older iphone 5s those aren't spots just dust in the phones camera.

My boat has some vinyl repairs done by a pro. It is obvious where they are and won't look original but save you some money. Other option is just replace the seat skin. Depends on how good you want it to look in my opinion.

Christine's marine...if they make that year yet. I think it's like six years after the model year before they can make em.

So I got a response from Christine's

"Michael,
Well after seeing the picture, I really do not think that vinyl repair will do the trick.The vinyl has actually pulled off the backing. The bad news is that after checking our pattern list, we do not have any patterns for your boat. The only way we could make the new skins at this time is if the old skins are in good enough shape to be cut apart and used as patterns and you are willing to remove them and ship them to us. Since we will be using your skins for a pattern, we will need detailed pictures of your skins (present time) so we can work up a price, the picture you sent is too close to see what bottom that it is. We can also check to see if they match another year that we may have a pattern for.

. . . . We do offer a discount of up to 15% for the skin(s) you would send to us, based on the condition of the old skins, for removing and sending us the old skins. They will not be returned as we have to cut them apart to use as a pattern.

. . . . The other option is to check back with us periodically to see if someone else has sent us their old skins for your year and model thus giving us the pattern. Sorry we can't be more help at this time.

I have reached out to Nautique directly as well to see if this is covered under warranty.

Your boat is 7 years old the warrinty is only 5. That is a common problem on 210 seats I have changed both of mine for the same tear in that seam. I was able to order the skins from my local dealer . They were around 145.00 each . My wife works part time for a marine upholstery shop we are used to replacing vinyl covers.

I have a 2009 210 Team and have a very small start to what looks like the same tear in the same place on one of my seats...so looks to be common as Nautiquehunter said.
