My seat did the same thing. Contacted my dealer and he has ordered a new replacement covering. I have had my Rts, since August.

Aleene's, Fabric Fusion It's an Adhesive, Put it on the rip wet your finger and even it out with the finger.
I've used it many times over the years with great results.

Bob, is this product widely available ???????......Mike

I recommend going to the dealer to get the ball rolling. If the spyder is under warranty, you should be good to go.

I wonder if BRP is aware of this issue? I had my seat rip in the same place about a month after I bought mine this May. It was replaced under warranty. Dale

My 2011 RTS seat did the same thing. Took the bike in for a software update and told them about the seat so they could order one if approved by BRP. Hour later picked the bike up with a new seat installed. West Coast Powersports Clearwater Fl. Good people. The new seat also ripped in the same place. I think I will wait for the 2013 seat before having it replaced again.

Will that be covered under the BEST warranty? I found
out the hard way that the replacement airshock was NOT covered under BEST. Ouch!

Thanks for the replys!

image.jpgUpon recommendation of my dealer, I took some photos of the seat which they will send to BRP to see if they will cover it under the BEST warranty?
The process may take a couple of weeks.

I found out that the air shock in the rear was NOT covered by BEST and I had to fork out bucks to cover that last month.

OEM seat was replaced about seven months into ownership, replacement seat was also replaced about ten months later. EXACT same spot in the seat horn. dealership replaced the seat with no fuss.
appears to be a recurring problem in the RT seats

Hi, everyone

So everybody know that i'm out of warranty with my RTS 2010 , I call BRP at Valcourt to let them know that i have a problem with my seat tearing just in front like everyone here. I let here know that i take picture at the dealer but i need a file number. So i call back my dealer to tell them the file number. It's will take sometime before he call me back. And will let you know. Just to let you know my dealer change the seat last year warranty end 21 april and they change my seat the 10 april. So summer is coming i will ride the bike. At the end of the summer the seat start tearing. I put the bike in storage for winter. And now this year the seat is tearing more and more with each ride. I tell them you will have problem at the place they wear. And even if they change with new seat it will start again. Because it's a weak point.

Ok i have to leave you. The postmail just arrived with my Bajaron Bar. Youpppi..

I have mine replaced in Jan this seat is doing the same thing 2nd seat 20011 rt I think this is a poor design of brp

[flaggerphil]

I'm on my third OEM seat. However, I'm looking at replacing it with an Ultimate seat so, hopefully, I won't have to worry about a fourth OEM seat.

All have been replaced free of charge.

was reading the manual, imagine that said seat covers were not under warranty but i see that may not be so.
