Hi all

I bought some sport seats and the driver seat base bolster has a rip. Been there for a while. I've a new bolster so no problem, except the cushion is ripped also. Like the sponge is split.

Can this foam cushion be repared or should it be replaced? If replaced, where can I get one??

Is there some foam missing or could you push the edges back together?
