Seat base material question

[Peter Toenjes]

I own a 2001 Seadoo LRV. Just love it. I am recovering my seats. Challenging, but turning out good. An LRV has those hinged clam-shell seat in the rear. kind of like a sun deck. They are two piece. Center squarish piece and an L-shaped wrap around section. The L shaped wrap around section has some cracked and missing platic base material I need to repair. Does anyone know what the plastic black seat base material is? I want to identify the material so I can use the proper material to make the repair. My guess is LDPE (Low density Poly Ethelyne)

It would be a guess for us non LRV owners without actually seeing it, but I'd say most of the seadoo seats during that era are made out of a common polyethylene plastic. You may need to get creative or find a salvaged LRV to get a replacement.
