There is no evidence of water ingress. Can I safely patch this up with
duck tape or do I need a more watertight solution?


I'd patch it with a small piece of roofing felt laid across the gap,
held down with gaffer tape. If possible, wedge it in mechanically.

Gaffer tap alone is more flexible than felt, so any movement will tend
to be concentrated at the tear and will work to pull the tape off. A
patch of felt laid on top or underneath acts as a stiffener.
