I have seen leather/vinyl repair kits for rips just like this. I personally have never used them so I can't tell you if they work good or not. Check autopart stores like Murrays, pepboys, or even a local fabric shop.

Guy that does interiors here in Bristol told me it would cost $60 bucks to fix the little tear in my drivers seat. Said he would have to take the seat out and the back off of it. Thought it was a pretty good deal.

Take it to an upholstery/automotive interior shop, they should be able to help you out as well as do a more professional job than any little kit you can buy at autozone.
