Repairing A Vinyl Saddle

Hundreds (probably thousands) of miles down the road, the original saddle on my 1996 GT Outpost is finally showing some signs of wear. Returning from an interstate overnight bike trip this weekend, I noticed a small crack near the edge of the saddle and I am really bummed about it.
This is a GT "Supersoft" vinyl saddle that has provided 23 years of comfort on everything from single-track MTB trails to milky-smooth rail trails. I've never ridden another saddle so comfortable, and I've had to remount it twice just because I can't bear to let it go.
So I know there are vinyl/leather repair kits out there for automobiles, boats, etc., but nothing seems to be recommended for bicycle saddles. Has anyone had a good experience with a product that doesn't cost more than about $20?
