I have some large Taylor-made fenders. One of them leaks and I found that it is leaking out of the air-fill hole - you know, the kind that uses the needle to fill, like a football, etc.
I can't figure out any way to repair it or even how it would fail in the first place. I assume it's just a little flap or something that closes when the internal air pressure pushes on it but I don't really know.
Any fender valve repair advice?
I note that Taylor's warranty only applies to splitting or bursting, not to leaking air valves...

I bet the valve will hold long enough to burst it if they won't honor it.

Wonder if when a fender "splits" it looks the same as the cut a razor blade might make...

Re: Any way to fix a fender air valve?
I had some old taylor made with a different type of valve. Had a nylon screw that covered a valve that was not a football valve. They were leaking so i filled them up , put some silicone in the hole and ran the screw back in.
As far as the foot ball type, why not try some tire sealer. Of course try warranty first.
