Leave it alone, it will be fine. I have approx 3-4 pulled out on my track, not a big deal.
 
An outer edge pull out is risky to just run it. Maxdlx
 
I posted a technique for sewing the hole/rip....
do a search

If the track is torn my suggestion is to replace the track but if you can't make sure the track is very tight, remove the outer studs and do not ride wide open for long periods. If that track comes apart and it damages the heat exchanger and bulkhead the insurance company will total it.
