06 LSV rear locker covers cracking

[spyder]

Have the entire cushion recovered with one color to save on labor or materials.

It's a pretty easy repair, anyone with basic sewing skills can cut the blue piece out and replace it. You can order the viynl from skiers choice, $35 a yard..

do you know if they still sell the entire cushion skin for an 06?

That's also a high traffic area climbing back and forth to the swim platform. I've tried the TearAid vinyl patch stuff and it doesn't work all that great in a location like that... Curious about the liquid vinyl stuff though.

Last time I tried the liquid vinyl stuff was on a very small tear (maybe 1/4") right in the middle of the back platform (also a heavy traffic area) and the repair held up for 2+ yrs until I sold the boat. The biggest issue -- it seemed to have some UV protection that didn't allow the small section under the repair to fade like the rest of the vinyl so it looks slightly discolored over time.

Wow. Not sure what that cost you but I'm sure it was less than new vinyl! Looks great. Hope it holds up!!

How did he do it? The clear stuff and add color?

yep, applied a few coats into the cracks real thin and heated it...

then mixed the color on the spot to the exact color by just mixing from a bunch of random colors in cans... old guy was amazing! and he sprayed it on with some mouth powered paint sprayer... was neat to watch
