Question Firestone airbags slowly leaking air ( HELP)

Just installed new firestone airbags. about 1 week ago. one of the bags has a slow leak somewhere, At first they leaked where the valve threads into the bag, i found this by spraying soap and water on them. So i tighten the valve a 1/4 turn and the leak slowed down but still leaking? Tighten again still leaking And i cant see where even with soap and water sprayed eveywhere.
Anyone else with airbags have this problem? ANy help will be appreciated
Thank you
just getting old having to put air in every day

You might try sealing the threads with 3 wraps of teflon tape. Also, the shrader fill valves are usually a good place to check too.
