If I were you, I'd buy an aftermarket CLOTH or CORDURA seat and be done with it. I don't like sitting on a vinyl seat, never have, only thing a vinyl seat does is give you a sweaty butt, cracks in cold weather and tends to look awful as they age. In fact, I tossed the OEM vinyl seat on my Kubota M9 open station and replaced it almost immediately with a Cordura seat. Put the vinyl seat on the curb and it vanished... good riddance.
