If you are still hand sewing...put a small bead of some sort of sealant in your seems, might be a little messy but it would keep water out and you could trim it after it dries.

yea, I guess so, Dave.
I might try some kind of sealant. good thing I saved the original. probably slap that back on for now, just so I can ride til I figure something out.
thanks for the responses.

Did you remember the plastic layer between foam and vinyl? That's how the factory seat was on mine (and the foam still soaked up water like a sponge and became a mushroom farm)...

yea. foam is fine. its the material i used. it had diamond stitching already sewn into it. so the thin piece of foam on the inside was soaked. and then my seam around the edges. oh well, it was a fun experiment. i've already got stock foam and cover stapled back on pan. pretty fast/easy job.

Keep a close watch on the factory cover, the vinyl is sub-standard. Low UV resistance, low heat/cold tolerance. They are better than they used to be, but there is room for improvement.
