    That's not from puckering....pucker tightens things up. It would have pulled the seam closer together. I think you had a different issue there...........

    Serious, though,......if you want to take the time to pull a lot of staples, that is a clean tear. You could pull the cover back and before the vinyl has a chance to 'take a set' to the shape of the hole, straighten it out and tape it back together with a high quality fabric tape or upholstery tape. Gorilla tape may even be good. Just make sure to tape from the inside. After its taped and holding, maybe a careful application of black rtv to cover the tear from the outside. Then staple it back in place.
