vinyl seat repair. need proffesional?

The vinyl on the driver side seat is starting to tear were my left leg sits and is steadily getting worse. My question is is there an easy repair solution or should I just take it to an uphostery repair shop?

easy solution is to buy a set of seat covers

besides that, yes I'd at least visit an up' shop and get a price.

I've tried some vin' repair kits and seats is not place where they work well.

You might even try to buy a replacement OEM cover . . .

how is it failing? is a seam letting go or is a hole wearing thru

pictures help
