How do fix a crack in your plastic fenders. looking for home grown tips here ?

 

You cant fix it, but what you need to do is to take a drill and drill a hole in each end if the crack, this will prevent it from growing.

 

Get new fenders from Maier or from ebay... If the fender isnt broken off, you could try some strong epoxy. You know those plastic lawn chairs? Well I broke one (pure accidential) and I expoxied it, let it dry over night, and it still works fine! No one can even tel it was broken!

Check local motorcycle shops. Alot of the ones around here have pastic welders that will do the job for ya!!

 

zip-ties...
just drill holes along each side of the crack, then you just kinda stitch it with the zip ties. it kinda looks like it has a scar on it.

 

wat u need to do is get a soilder gun or rod or a torch n melt som plastic into the crack and let it kool!! Hey it workes on my beartracker

 

Yep good call. Auto body shops have them too.

 

HEY GOOD TIPS ! never thought about it spreding , drilling a hole sounds good , heck got a body shop just down the road i'll try them out. If not I think I'll go with a small hole at the end of the crack and then epoxy it. Thanks for the tips

 

Expanding on what crazzy is saying. Try to find some old plastic the same color as the fender you are repairing and melt that plastic into the crack. Hold the crack open so that you get the melted plastic in the crack, and when you let go of the plastic the excess squishes out on both sides. Sand the excess squished out plastic down with 300 grit then run a heat gun or torch over the sanded area. The heat gun/torch should make the plastic good and shinny again. Be careful not to burn the plastic. Take your time. Good as new!

Heat gun or torch will take stress marks out of plastic to.

Not really sure if it would work well but I know a kid who cracked his body kit on his civic (go speed ricer!) and used bondo to put it back to gether. Just a thought
