small tear behind the drivers seat of SL55

I have a 2005 SL55
Has anyone had to repair a small tear in the vinyl padding behind the seat on the edge. I bought this car used and either I did it, which is highly unlikely, or it was there when I bought the car, but I didn't notice it.
There is a small puncture in the vinyl on the area right behind the seat on the side. It almost looks like the seatbelt end may have punctured it when the seat was backed up.
Does anyone know if this can be repaired or how to do it?
Thanks for the help!

Or go to your local dealer and find out who they use.

(dealers fix stuff like that all the time)

That looks more like a glue. I need to fix more like a puncture, but thanks for the reply.
I will take it to a upholstery shop and see what they can do. Thanks!

That was a joke on the stuff Billy Mays used to hawk.

The mobile upholstery guys can be very good, that's why I recommend a MB dealer. Good luck!
