2020 SR/F (purchased in 2019)
 
I have a seam on the side of the seat that allows rainwater in.
Then for the next week it allows water out onto my pants.
 
I have watched a few videos and plan on tackling this myself.
 
Remove the seat cover
- Seat off
- Remove staples with flat screwdriver and pliers
Seal the seam from the inside
Replace the seat cover
- Tack seat cover at front and back with 1 or 2 staples
- Pull sides and staple
- If wrinkles, consider removing staples at front and/or rear and re-pulling and stapling
 
2 questions for anyone who has done this.
 
1. What product do you recommend for sealing?  Absolutely each video I watched recommends a different product.
 
2. Any gotchas on the process I should be aware of?

Im not a biologist but I'd just use regular silicon sealer. Its a vinyl kind of material, right? Just take care it doesnt seep trough and discolor the stitching.

My wife does a lot of crafts work, and E6000 is apparently the 'go to' for adhering fabrics. I would expect the silicone sealant mentioned above would work well as well. That stuff sticks to everything.
