I don’t see an actual crack in the sidewall. I see maybe a crack in the VDS/bonding material and it pulling away but the sidewall itself looks fine.

What he said^

Your edge and the small rubber layer between the edge and the sidewall has delaminated. Your best bet is get some epoxy and clamp in all back together but the days on those edges are numbered.

Ye get some poxy in there and clamp that edge crack before it bends more. Gets way harder after that

Make sure to take a file to the "base of the edge" after applying epoxy and clamping. Gotta be sure there is no burr to catch on anything where the cracked edges meet!
