how to fix a cracked plastic footboard?
I hit a snow covered stump today and smashed a plastic chunck out of the footboard where it meets the rear fender. it is a single pice that is approx 4x2 inches.I can fit it right back in place but it will work free if I try to ride without affixing it back in place. What should I use? Superglue??, or is there a product better then high strength glue?? The footboard is one pice and would most likley be expensive to replace. Does anyone know the cost of a new footboard for a 03 trail boss?

Permatex makes some amazing glues. Try to find one that chemically reacts with the plastic and melts into it, like the plastic model glues do. I mean worse comes to worse, you can use crazy glue to hold it in place and then JB Weld over it on both sides for safe measure. You can always get a black marker and go over it to make it match the rest of the floorboard.

You will get the bumper repair material plus a mesh for strength.
Google 3m bumper repair and you can watch a step by step instruction.
note you will do the repair from the underside and the repair area will be stronger than the original.
Good luck and let us know if it works for you

The plastic is easy to repair from the back side with any soldering iron. Just hold the plastic together and use the iron to melt it back toether along the crack. Once you have plastic welded it back together , then reinforce it with a epoxy compound found at any autobody store used to repair all the plastic Bumpers found on all of our cars. It can be sanded and painted if you want the repair to be invisable.
