    There have been a few threads about repairs to carbon rims, one about 6 weeks ago, I think.
    The general consensus seems to be that there are no reputable carbon repairers, who will take on repairs to carbon rims.
    The other thing is that there are few people out there, who are prepared to ride on a repaired carbon rim.

    Can carbon fairing on a Mavic Comic be repaired? Not cracked just glue has come loose in a place.

    If it's a cosmic with an aluminum rim then I imagine that's a non-structural and therefore non-risk repair

    Any idea of where to get it repaired? LBS can't help unfortunately. Or worth it even?

    Can’t you glue it yourself with some 2 part epoxy? If it’s only cosmetic then I’d have a go at it myself if I was you
