Cool seat Question

Hey All: I have searched through the post and can't find what I am looking for. I have a 2005 RG and I am running the stock seat. I did have it modified about two years ago where they cut it down and put in Gel pads. I love how the seat rides but over the last year whenever it rains it holds water very badly. From what I can tell from speaking to a few other upholstery shops is that it sounds like the stitching that runs from front to back in the center of the seat is leaking. I have been told there are some products out there that can be applied to these stitches to seal them, but everything I can find on the net says for leather and I know my stock seat is not leather. My question is has anyone out there used any product that they can recommend so I can stop the wet butt?

Thanks in advance for your help
Ride safe and GOD Bless
