Cowl to Box Air Duct Repair

[Mopar Crazy]

The cowl to heater box air duct has a couple of rips in the material. Has anyone repaired one that had any rips? and what would be the best way to do this.

Thanks

After washing the whole item in dish soap and letting dry. I taped off the fabric rubber material, glass beaded the flanges and painted natural. I put rust treatment on the rusted ribs and wiped off the excess that gets on the rubberized fabric. After the rust turned black and dryed. I used a silver paint pen to emulate the zinc coated originals. Looked pretty good.

Sounds good, but I need to repair the rubber material. There are 2 rips that I need to fix. Any ideas ??

I have another project and the hose in that has a tear in it. I am planning on trying this product.

Thin layer on a real clean surface. Possibly adding a fine fiberglass mesh between a layer of it.

Gaffer tape?  
You could carefully apply it on the inside of hose & repair wouldn't be very noticeable.
Tab it down on one side of tear, then work other side down from outside.

Gaffer tape? 

This stuff is great. As sticky as duct tape, but not gooey. Flat black, I used it on my trunk panels on the 67. Worth the price.

I 'repaired' a Pendleton shirt (between layers) with it YEARS ago, been through wash many times. It's still holding but the edges of tears are frayed a bit.
