| I have an airhawk seat. It is the only way I can do long distance rides. I can't live without it. It sprung a leak at the seam. I tried bicycle tube repair glue. No luck, it wouldn't seal. Any suggestions on how to repair. If I can fix I'll have to buy new.  |

| I use a product called "Vinyl Liquid Patch" Try an RV dealer if you don't find it elsewhere. It mends vinyl and is strong and long lasting. |

The original AirHawk is neoprene. Aquaseal (may want the Cotol-240) is both a sealent and an adhesive for neoprene or Aquaseal Seal Cement both are for neoprene. Make sure you thoroughly clear the area you try using bicycle tube glue. |

Aquaseal (may want the Cotol-240) is both a sealent and an adhesive for neoprene or Aquaseal Seal Cement both are for neoprene. I had a small pinhole leak on the bottom on my large AirHawk that I just repaired with the Aquaseal with Cotol-240. The repair was very quick and very easy with the Aquaseal. For additional protection I added a waterproof vinyl liner from Lowe's ( I had some extra scraps left over) under the neoprene AirHawk bladder. |

| My issue was not a hole but a seperation between the top and bottom half at the seam.
I ended up using some windshiel adhesive that my son had laying aroud.
Been riding on it for 2 weeks and it is holding up well. |
