Default Cracks inside Heritage bag

i took my bags off my 2K Heritage to do some cleaning and noticed stress cracks at the inside attachment points. Only on one side. Anyone had this happen? Is there a fix?

Fiberglass kit should fix that, no problem.

It could be due to over tightening. In any case, after you repair the cracks try using bonded fenner washers - large washers with a rubber backing and it shouldn't happen again. Home Deep and Lowes have them.
