Snowmobile tracks take a beating. Hard acceleration, deep snow, icy trails, and hidden obstacles can all contribute to torn or damaged paddles. And when that damage starts small, continuing to ride can make it worse.
GlueTread's Snowmobile Paddle Repair Kits give riders a way to reinforce damaged paddles before they tear away completely, helping extend the usable life of a track and delay an expensive replacement.
Now, we're giving riders another option: the Snowmobile Pro Paddle Repair Kit, built for anyone who needs more repair supplies on hand.
What Is the Snowmobile Pro Paddle Repair Kit?
The Snowmobile Pro Paddle Repair Kit uses the same repair system as our original Snowmobile Paddle Repair Kit, with twice the consumable supplies.
Twice the kit. Same repair.
The Pro Kit includes ten rubber patches in two sizes, six tubes of GlueTread adhesive, and twelve applicator tips, along with the surface-prep tools needed to complete a repair.
It's designed for riders repairing multiple damaged paddles, maintaining more than one sled, or simply stocking the garage with enough supplies for future repairs.
Standard vs. Pro: Which Snowmobile Paddle Repair Kit Do You Need?
Both kits use the same GlueTread adhesive, patches, and repair process. The biggest difference is how many repairs you're prepared to make.
| Kit Contents | Standard Kit | Pro Kit |
|---|---|---|
| 4" × 4.5" patches | 1 | 2 |
| 3" × 1.5" patches | 4 | 8 |
| GlueTread adhesive | 3 tubes | 6 tubes |
| Applicator tips | 6 | 12 |
| Sandpaper | 10 pieces | 10 pieces |
| Sanding flap disc | 1 | 1 |
| Price | $59.95 | $99.95 |
Choose the Standard Snowmobile Paddle Repair Kit if you're repairing a single damaged paddle or want a basic repair kit on hand.
Choose the Snowmobile Pro Paddle Repair Kit if you're working through several damaged paddles, maintaining multiple sleds, or want extra repair supplies available throughout the season.
At $99.95, the Pro Kit also saves you $19.95 compared to purchasing two $59.95 Standard Kits separately.
Why Repair a Torn Snowmobile Paddle Early?
A partially torn or split paddle may not look like a major problem at first, but continued riding can cause the tear to spread until the paddle eventually separates completely.
Repairing the damage early allows you to reinforce the affected area while the paddle is still intact. Instead of replacing an otherwise usable track because of localized paddle damage, a GlueTread repair can help you get more miles and more riding time from the track you already own.
GlueTread paddle repairs have been tested over thousands of miles in real riding conditions, from older sleds to modern high-horsepower machines and across trails, mountains, and backcountry terrain.
How Do You Repair a Snowmobile Track Paddle?
The basic process is straightforward: prepare the damaged area, apply GlueTread adhesive, and bond the appropriate rubber patch over the damage.
Proper surface preparation is an important part of getting a strong bond, which is why both Snowmobile Paddle Repair Kits include the tools needed to prepare the rubber before applying the patch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you repair a torn snowmobile track paddle?
A partially torn or damaged snowmobile track paddle can be reinforced with a GlueTread Snowmobile Paddle Repair Kit. Repairing the damage early can help prevent the tear from spreading and extend the usable life of the track. Severely damaged tracks may still require replacement.
What's the difference between the GlueTread Standard and Pro Snowmobile Paddle Repair Kits?
Both kits use the same patches, adhesive, and repair process. The Pro Kit includes twice the patches, adhesive, and applicator tips, making it better suited for multiple repairs, multiple sleds, or riders who want extra repair supplies on hand.
When should you repair a damaged snowmobile paddle?
Address a torn or split paddle as early as possible. Continued riding can cause a small tear to spread until the paddle separates completely, making early repair the best opportunity to reinforce the damaged area.
Get More Life Out of Your Snowmobile Track
Eventually, every snowmobile track reaches the end of its usable life. But a torn paddle doesn't necessarily mean you're there yet.
The GlueTread Snowmobile Paddle Repair Kit gives riders a way to address localized paddle damage before it gets worse, while the new Snowmobile Pro Paddle Repair Kit provides twice the repair supplies for riders who need more repairs on hand.
Whether you're fixing one damaged paddle or preparing for an entire season, addressing damage early can help extend your track's usable life and keep you riding longer.
