Heat gun and plastic scraper
Remove all of it
Clean with acetone or MEK
Then use wide eternabond tape on to seal it
There is nothing you put on top of that , that will stay sealed
It will continue to crack and rip, and tear open anything you cover it with
Strictly for emergency repair get several tubes of self leveling polyurethane sealant from the roofing department of your local home depot etc...and fill the crack
Start at one end run all the wait to the other side, then go back and lay another bead, repeat until full
Self leveling is runny, so you have to do it by layers all the way across each time until done , fill it full so there is no place for water to collect
Because of the tar, this will only be a temporary fix
Eventually you have to do the total removal to make a permanent repair
Tar is the worse possible thing you can put on an RV roof
