Gluing/Repairing Double Straps

Picked up some Errebi Sprint doubles a month ago and they are splitting in the middles and ends. Any tips for gluing/fixing them.

Could not get anything to pop up in search.

Thanks.

i used krazy glue to re-laminate some straps. held them together with paperclips while they were gluing. it worked surprisingly well.
