    Seac Icaro Tech wing- slight problem

    I have a Seac Icaro Tech wing that i have been using for around 12 months.
    I have never had a single problem with it before, but have in the last few weeks notices that 1 or the metal brackets that conects the Bladder to the backplate has started to bend out of shape.
    I am now worried that it may snap off.
    Due to the fact that the bracket is stitched onto the Bladder, i'm not sure that it can be replaced.
    Has anyone else had such a problem or knows hows to solve it????

    Are you sure it's stitched the bladder itself and not the protective outer fabric?
    Cheers,

    If you look at the backplate you will see 5 metal brackets which join the backplate to the wing. 2 at the bottom of the backplate (1 to the left and 1 to the right), 2 half way up (1 to the left and 1 to the right) and 1 at the top in the middle (behind the neck)

    Just had a look and guess what??
    My top right bracket is bent.Never spotted that before. However, the brackets don t appear to be stitched onto the outer fabric, they look like they are looped on in some way(I ll have a closer look later)and look like they could be replaced.
