For the first question. I have no idea. I am not sure how, and if possible to fix the tear. I woul try stitching it. However, if the tears are coming out, you might want to just replace the whole seat.

On your second question... I had the same problem with my seats. I could not find where the sqeak was, so I just squirted a bit of engine oil onto all the joints. Half a year later, still no squeaks.

Good luck.

U know how to stitch things together???
I would try stitching it. It all really depends on the rip. If you got a pic I might be able to help ya out.

I have few seamstress friends and I can have them give you some advice.
