"DUCK" tape? Is that made from crushed Ducks? I keep DUCT tape in the trunk -
just in case. :)

Seriously, I doubt it would help since the tear isn't on the plastic itself.
Its on a fairly high stress area of the zipper fabric. I'm going to *try*
sewing it, and then gluing a reinforcing strip over it.
