You too huh??? All four of mine are busted. I tried JB Cold Weld (just cuz it was lying around the garage) and it peeled off before I could get them reinstalled in the seats. There's gotta be something out there that will bond that rubbery plastic?????

I replaced the bladders in my 88 coupe with expended electrolyte bags from a hospital and a vet clinic. They already have the tube nipples and can be attached to others tubes with junctions from a pet store in the aquatics section.

Since it's already ka-put, you're out nothing to try...... "Shoe Goo". (that's it's real name) It's fixed many types of material for me. Make sure it sets for a full 24 hours before you test it.
