Logitech Speakers with torn surround

Hello I bought some logitech speakers (Z533) for really cheap with one of the smaller (midrange I believe?) speakers having a small tear in the surround. It sound good to me even at max volume. I was looking at speaker repairs and I wondered if I should try to repair it or buy just the speaker to replace it or just leave it alone since I'm afraid I could mess it up and it seems to work fine even with the small tear. I found the same speaker online (the person is selling only one speaker, only thing is the damaged speaker is the left one and they are selling the right one) and it's at a good price and I was wondering if I should just buy it and replace it. What do you guys think I should do?

I'd pop the tear out so it's flush with the adjacent surround and glue it back together with a small amount of tacky PVA glue. Be careful, use something small like a toothpick to apply only a small amount of glue at a time, then you're unlikely to make it worse.

Will any other glue work (for example loctite super glue) or does it have to be the exact one you mentioned?
 
3M Super Weatherstip adhesive. We used it on countless rental speaker repairs back in my Pro audio days. It stays pliable after drying plus is black in color. Never use anything that hardens after drying on speakers. We tried several different glues & adhesives and only the 3M did the job well plus lasted.

Unfortunately it's not available in my county. The only glue out of all the mentioned above, that is available is the tacky PVA glue. Any other alternative?

It's available on Amazon. Auto parts stores should carry it, it's used internationally.
