I have no idea about the torn one, never seen one do that. Ill get you another, but I need to send that rubber to the rubber manufacturer so I get reimbursed.
I sent you my phone number text me and ill give you the ship to address, text me the pic, and then text me what it costs to ship it and Ill reimburse you the shipping and get another made.
I have no idea why that happened, but rest assured ill get you another. The rubber is flex 80, and should not degrade.
The only time I have ever seen one tear is when the rubber has too much black in it. But never like that.
Im sorry this happened.
