I purchased a Bare HDC Tech Dry suit under a year ago and the adhesive used to attach the pockets seem to already be peeling off.

The adhesive on the exhaust valve also seems to be coming off. Anyway I can fix this easily myself? I'm not sure if this type of thing is covered by the Bare warranty?

Also, there is sand/dirt inside the exhaust valve which I can feel and hear when I turn it to open or close it. Is it easy and should I disassemble it to clean myself or should I get it serviced? This is my first suit so I'm still getting the hang of maintenance. I've attached some pictures below. Thanks

What happened with this? I sent my HDC in today for a few warranty repairs and I asked them to look at the pockets that are starting to fall off. Im assuming that since they were factory installed, Bare will cover the repair.
 
What did you bash into with the exhaust valve?
