Super glue will be too brittle. For a flexible surface you’ll want a rubber cement product.

Contact glue. There are many types of glues for different material and application. But in general, I find contact glue to be much more versatile than most, and you don’t need to sell your kidney for a serious application.
Super glue won the pr battle though

Definitely send it in to Ortlieb for repairs (Use [pirateship.com](http://pirateship.com) to get the cheapest rates on shipping). I’ve sent my panniers in a few times and they’ve been great to work with and super affordable. Reach out to [Productservice@ortliebusa.com](mailto:Productservice@ortliebusa.com) before you send it in and they can verify if it’s repairable and give you a return authorization number (RA#). Turn around time for my recent repair was about 3 weeks.
