I cant remember where I got it but there is a vinyl repair glue available. If you cant get it at a boat store try Cabela's catalog (most likely place for me!). Then an auto parts store.

You need to find matching material and glue it over the holes. Use a metal spoon and feather the edges for a non-snag finish. This will not look as good as a professional repair. I repaired some snags on flat spots and I could see it easy enough.

It held up fine for me until I got around to re-upholstering those seats (still not professional apearance, lol). I dont think my seats saw as much use as your are likely to get so it may wear after a while. It will give you some time to get it done right if you want to, while sealing the damaged area from the elements and is more attractive than duck tape.

Good luck!
