Skinz repairs

When I was taking off my Skinz top recently the rubber ripped at the base of the neck where the rubber is heat taped and stitched at the bottom of the neck where it becomes one with the denier nylon. It is not warranteed and repairs are estimated to be $60.00 to $100.00, which isn't outrageous. But I was thinking of epoxying the rubber under the seam where it ripped from. There is enough room from where the factory stitching is to the very edge of the nylon to possibly repair this myself. Anyone else do this or have this problem. I only wore the top a dozen or so times. I should have been more careful how I grabbed the rubber neck and spread it apart before raising over my head. But I always get this freikin closed in feeling if I dont get the rubber neck off quickly.
