Foam surround repair

Active Member
This is a set of H-Audio Trinity 3" midrange drivers. I have an ever so small tear in a foam surround and need to make a fix. As you can see from the photo it is really small but bugs the $hit out of me. No difference in sound quality but bugs the $hit out of me. Got any ideas on a GOOD fix?

Could be like rubber or a VERY close celled foam? Anyway, looking for a fix. No drugs please...doctor gives me plenty of those.
 
Use transparrent speaker glue on the opposite side.
First get them to correct shape, then lite coat of glue.
My 2 cents anyway.
 
Glue works as others have suggested but I've used thin double sided foam (available as tape) and works wonderfully well - but..... you have to be careful!, only use enough to extend a little beyond the tear.

Cut a piece to size and shape - then peel one side, and press against the cut surface, use the other unpeeled side to shape the curve, a pencil eraser helps.

If done properly and on the inside Its invisible from the front - then you may peel the leftover anti-stick wax paper (its double sided remember) and enjoy.
