I just found a little tear in my seat. What are my option for repair. Are there any repair kits out there or do I have to get a new seat?

Most auto parts stores carry repair kits

Black electrical tape works amazing. It looks better on the seat than duct tape.

Tape gets messy and sticky after a while,if it's just a tear then I would get a heavy duty curved needle and sew it up.

Just go to your shop and they can repair your seats for you. Or do you want to replace it with a new one?

When mine got cracks in the material I bought a new seat from Honda.

I can't remember seeing any recovered seats or a cover that looks near as nice a brand new seat from Honda.

I bought a nice camo/black one off of ebay. A new seat cover is the way to go, just unstaple the old one and follow the directions for stapling on a new one. There are many different colors and color combonations available.
