Tarp Material Under Slide

Not sure what this material is called but looks like I may have had a rock under slide when extending after a trip and have about a 6 in tear. Anyone have experience with repairing this without repairing whole thing. I've heard of Darko tape and was wondering if this would be a good solution?

Could be a screw that's worked up and the slide is hitting the screw.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Try the tape, see what happens.

Mine is doing something similar, but it's from the roller. Mine is just kind of shredding. I've been thinking about some kind of tape also. Again, nothing ventured, nothing gained. if it don't work, nothing lost. if it does, I've save a fortune on a repair. I haven't done anything yet. I guess it's not bad enough yet.

My 2020 295RL dining room slide Darko was starting to shred where the rollers "roll". CW repaired it under warranty with slide skis provided by Keystone ... keep in mind, my unit was still in warranty when the repairs were made.
