Vinyl flaps torn

Picked up my 3 month old 2008 TM 3124KS from servicing today, checked the minor repair list (fridge ignition gauge faulty, door frame out of square, dead unchargeable battery and a few odds and ends).

Opened her up when I got home and found that the technician had gotten the vinyl/velcro flap caught between the front and rear shells (this is the flap that is along the front shell to the right of the door as you enter the trailer). There were several tears in the vinyl, small but conspicuous.

I called the dealer just to get this documented now (an hour after I picked it up) rather than get into a squabble next time with them claiming that user-caused damage was not covered. Color me frustrated.

Anyhow, any better solutions for temporary repair than duct tape? Will the whole strip have to be replaced with a new one?
