Default Re: Shifter boot restoration

The sound seal may suffer slightly but before mucking up an otherwise beautiful boot w/ a repair attempt, it looks worth considering a subtle razor blade/exacto knife type of modification?
Looks like some careful slicing could continue the sidewalls lengthways beyond the bumps losing the rounded turns where the rip started and enlongating the slot into the ripped area?
If the remaining bumps were the exact middle, would a slot the same length in the rip direction be long enough to encompass all the bad?
