Replacement 6S Bellows

[maxo001]

Hi can I get opinions on whether this is going to be okay. We had our bellows replaced from 3S to 6S recently. I’m trying to find people with experience of the new bellows who can say whether this is normal. What we have found is that on the bends for all four corners there is small holes - photos attached. It’s where the black seal connects with the bellow it has ruffled up on the bend so the stitching is wide enough that there appears to be a hole. We have already experienced pooling of water on the surface below with the old bellows so I am worrying about it. I was hoping that other people who have the 6S can advise whether there bellows are the same and haven’t had any issues.

No experience of 06S, but those holes do look quite large.
If it was me, I would be putting a rose/drizzle attachment on a hose pipe and simulating a rain shower from above, letting water run down the bellows.
I had hoped the bellows saga had ended with 06S, but perhaps not

Thanks we will do that when it warms up
