For that it's kind of difficult but here's what I do. If the covering is torn I carefully peal it back and then spread the broken cracks open as far as I can without making them too much worse. Then I put the glue to it. Sometimes I push the glue in with my fingers other times I use an old credit card. But the glue has to be pushed in as far as it can be. Then when the glue is still wet I push the fabric back over the damaged areas and clamp or weight the part down.
Sometimes I'll also add a nail or two if I can do without being obvious.
