There are some new products on the market which will seal the outside without
tape. I used one that I got at Walmart ("Tear Repair" by Power Poxy) for my
dash . It is colorless and you cannot see the repair at all.
However you will need to get the edges of the tear together. Suggest you
get a good top shop to patch the inside as unobtrusively as possible by
gluing a like colored patch in there. That will get the edges together and
then you can run a seam on the outside. Hope that helps. cheers.
