Timbuk2 Messenger Bag: Is patching cracked interior of messenger bag a good idea?

Tue, 10 Dec 2024 05:29:59 -0700

I've had my Timbuk2 mini messenger bag for about 5 years and I've noticed the inside is getting cracked at the fold of the main flap. I'd like to find out if there is a recommended method of patching it to reinforce the integrity of the bag so that it will last longer. I was thinking of using duct tape to do so, but I'm hesitant to do it without reaching out to you to see if there is a better way to do it to insure that your product lasts longer as I really love this little bag. Please let me know. Thank you!

The rubbery piece that holds onto the cloth extender that attaches to the zipper for the laptop compartment came off this morning, and short of attempting applying heat, there doesn't seem to be an easy way of re-attaching this little rubber piece.
