How to fix small tear in seat?

2006 R50

Front driver's seat has a small 2-3 inch tear (plastic "pleathery" seat material). The tear is not open completely, but any day it looks like it'll completely open.

Any products to fix this correctly?

Four options

this will work cosmetically
http://www.eastwood.com/vinyl-and-da...lant-foam.html

but if you think it may split (and I think you do) I'd go talk to an auto upholstery shop in your town ... they may be able to stitch the cover which will show but will be strong

and you may be able to buy a new seat cover from MINI but prob' need a similar shop to install it.

OR, just buy some seat covers but be SURE they are compat' with the airbags . . .
