What's the sticky material that's on the seat called? I've got a rip in my seat and was hoping I could get someone local to repair it, rather than buy a new seat cover.

What type of seat is on the 1995 XCR? Is it the "racer" one, or is the "tall one" found on the 1998 XCs? I'm asking because I have a complete seat/tank combination that's brand new in the box. It says "600" on the side in purple, I think. I'd give you a heck of a deal on it...

As for the seat material, I don't know what it's called (vinyl, perhaps?), but it can be sewn as long as the rip isn't too bad.

I guess I'd better update my profile. It's my 2003 Pro-X 600 that needs the repair.

A significant number of 2003 Pro-X models had problems with the stitching coming apart at the seams. Even the SnowGoer test crew had the same problem. Polaris was covering it under warranty, but since your snowmobile is a few years old now, it probably would not be covered...but it would not hurt to ask your dealer.

My seat has not ripped, but my friend's did (Pro-X 800). He took it to a sewing shop and got it fixed for $30 US. It looks brand new and it has held up very well.

It's not on a seam it's on the side. I was just looking at getting material to replace the part that's torn instead of getting it stitched. Here's a picture.

Bump. Does anybody know the type of material that I'm talking about?

Why don't you post in the general forum. It must be universal across brands

Wht not just get it stitched? Or stitch it yourself with 2lb. test and a needle.

use liquiesole to glue it togheter, them smear it out with a bit of ice, second choice would be a superglue, a fast drying adhesive, put a piecie of vinyl underneath the crack and reinforce around under the cover and glue the crack toghether.
Third choice would be to stictch it up with dental thread /string) the one you use to keep food from getting stuck between your teeth, its wery strong and can be used to sew vinyl, i have tried all of these methods for repairing seats for sleds, so its up to you, the one with fast drying adhesive is the one that leaves the least amount of traces, if not satisfied buy a new cower from poo and be happy or a used seat and keep as a spair.. :beerchug:

Just take it to an upholstry shop and let them fix it. Shouldn't be more than 30 bux.
