Maybe put a little Coaxseal on first to protect it and then cover with the repair tape? http://coaxseal.com/

Rescue tape is one common brand-- there are a bunch of brands sold on Amazon <http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=rescue%20tape&sprefix=rescue+t%2Caps&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Arescue%20tape> . It works great, and is an extremely handy way to do all kinds of repairs. It doesn't work as well for sealing as they claim, but for anything short of that it is just great.

The context I've heard about it is 'temporary' repairs of water radiator hoses that end up lasting for a long time. If it will hold hot water under pressure in, I bet it would do a great job of holding rain out. I haven't tried it myself yet, but I've meant to pick some up to throw in the toolbox just to have with me in the car in case of emergencies.
