Head to the Gore-Tex website for detailed information about repair center locations and how to address temporary Gore-Text repairs. Like many synthetic fabric repairs, minor tears in Gore-Tex can be repaired with patches. These can either be peel-and-stick patches or heat-activated patches. Gore-Tex generally should never be sewn like other types of textiles can be. If your jacket is losing its waterproof capabilities, then it may need to have a waterproof coating reapplied.
