Default Rip Repair

So I have this rip in my rear seats of my 02 t/a. I am not sure where it came from because my rear seats are not used very often. But anyways has anyone seen this happen before in their f body? How should I go about repairing it? Thanks, Jordan

Slap some carbon fiber duck tape on it! You can take it apart and do a glue patch from behind or try to sew it back together. My leather seats are getting worn just from the sun and I have decent tint on my back window, maybe you should just invest in some new covers...
