You can try two things here. I don't guarantee that they'll surely work, but there's no harm in trying them. The WinRAR application has two built-in features which you can use here. First, you can try to repair RAR file by using its Repair archive (Alt+R) feature. And if that doesn't work, you should use the Data Extraction feature to extract data from corrupt RAR file.
