use clear packing/ packaging tape over the holes.

DUCT TAPE, The "Handymans Secret Weapon" now comes in Clear, which is claimed to be 6x stronger and stands up much better than the grey.  Duct Tape would be a better, more permanent solution than packing tape.  First put some  clear silicone on the tears to seal out moisture and then apply the clear duct tape.
Highly recommended by Red Green!

If the foam has soaked up water you will need to take them out and let them dry.  Then put them back into your repaired plastic.  If they have started to sag any, flip them over so the "mound" is up. This will help against puddling.
Measure once, cut twice.
