one of my friend went a mile ahead, he covered it with the fiberglass resin/hardener and painted it white. flexibility is gone, but it looks tidy.

You could use heat shrink tubing but it may cost more than $8. It's hard to believe part for Volvo cost only $8 even if it is plastic tube.

I would just spend the 8 bucks and buy a new one.
