They didn't fix it, they advised that such an internal failure could not be repaired, and they replaced it with a new one.

But if I were to try to fix one, I might do something like sewing up the failed baffle with a strong thread at a number of points along the failure. (So you are sewing a series of separate points along the baffle, like sewing on buttons but only with thread, no buttons, rather than sewing in a line along the baffle. You'd then have the baffle held down by a series of points, each of which would leak air because you've punctured the mat.) Then use a urethane adhesive like McNett AquaSeal or SeamSeal over the stitches on both sides of the mat to reinstate airtightness. By sewing in a series of points rather than in a line, the glue won't need to flex when rolling the mat, reducing the likelihood of glue failure.
