Default Torn seat

My driver's side seat is starting to be worn. It's going fast.
Any suggestions on how to fix it?

My RAM is fraying in the same area - I chose seat covers, they're cheaper than a seat replacement and can look just as good.

I had the same thing happen to the seat in my old car. Pulled it out and took it to the upholstery shop they replaced the foam and stitched it back up for $50.

I got a price about 2 years ago to redo mine, Black with blue stitching, for like $250-300 for the entire front seats (also middle seat)

I never got around to it, and picked up Mossy Oak Seat covers, my pass has a tear in the same area as your seat does, my driver side is fine still

I did use Duck Tape. It keeps rolling up on itself though. I'll stop in at a local body shop and see what it would take.
Otherwise, I'll just get a seat cover.
