sorted byto get a new seat, i would have to spend time going to see the seat and feel how comfortable it is, so if i can stick to my old seat, that will save time.
Duct tape maybe
You can buy vinyl weld glue, but that looks thin, its split all over the place and would never last even if you somehow managed to glue it, and the solvent would attack the foam underneath.
I think the only effective way is to recover it, and you'd need vinyl that is stretchy in both directions to fit the curved shape.
Best find a replacement! (edited)
But personally would just get a cover, too much of hard work for repairing...
I suggest you have a look at the make & model of your bike on the internet & look for parts.
I would have thought there are loads on ebay for example.
Don't think repairing plastic on the most abused part of a bike is very wise. It will just get brittle & split again with hours of use.
These are reasonable from Amazon two for £6.99

Or if your after something a bit more fancy pop over to Etsy
If that's the case then are the cracks just the PVC starting to peel or is the underlying cloth torn as well?
It won't match the embossed leather texture but with a reasonable colour and shininess match I doubt anyone will notice, even assuming the saddle hasn't worn smooth in other places anyway.
