Default Seat Bladder material

Don't think this made it through before. Can someone tell me what material the seat bladders are made of? I need to find some glue or adhesive that will work on them. From the looks of things, every C5 will have to do this and replacing the bladders isn't an option unless you have money to burn.

Thanks

Rob

My earlier response appears not to have worked but what you are probably looking for is a good sealing tape rather than glue. I have not opened my seats to look at the bladders in a C% but I did replace the bladders in my C4, 88 coupe and glue is not satisfactory for this type of repair.

Reinforcement of the damaged are is usually required.

Right, a couple of the bladders have the nipple tearing out of the bladder, they could probably use reinforcement. But the two side bladders have the nipples ripped completely out and need to be glued. What kind of sealing tape did you use?
