Foam is cheap to buy a piece large enough to repair just about any damage and many guys fix their own and install their own replacement covers with great results .we used to charge a $100.00 to install a customer supplied seat cover including basic foam repair and those jobs always went to the low guy in the shop and took less than an hour . An electric carving knife for $10.00 cuts and shapes foam just as good as my $500.00 Bosch foam saw. And contact cement can be purchased at any home store and can be brushed on we used to install carpets ,jute padding and vinyl tops for many years brushing the glue on . I suggest you fix it yourself as a weekend project and you'll find many uses for the left over contact cement .

I need to do the same and plan on doing as GOM suggests. Suggestions on foam density that most closely matches original foam would be helpful from anyone in the know..
