    have a couple of fenders with leaking inflating valves - the black rubber(?) type that accept a basketball needle

    Anyone know if these are replaceable or repairable ?

    some of them can be unscrewed and replace if you can find them. Taylor Made fenders have a lifetime warranty, dont they?

    Return them to the manufacturer. Like Pascal mentioned Taylor is very good about replacing their fenders.

    In addition to what other people are saying. BUT, also keep in mind if the temperature drops 20+ degrees the fenders will become very soft also as if they've lost air when they really haven't.
