KickStand Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 I had a crack in the bottom of my trunk. Now it is a large crack with a chunk missing. I need to fix it or replace it. I was watching one on ebay but it sold for $190 plus shipping and it was the wrong color. Is there a cheaper way to get this fixed? Mine is burgundy (88 VR)
Brake Pad Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 get the two part apoxy, tape off outside areas, mix small amounts, and pour onto crack, let harden, should dry clear, wet/dry sand paper if you'd like
Rottdoglover Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Before offering any suggestions on repair, is the crack/missing piece visible from the outside or strickly in the bottom of trunk?
friesman Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 My 85 was fixed before I got it , the PO got some fibreglass tape to hold things together, lined the inside of the box with it and then spread a good epoxy over the tape holding the crack together. It seems to have been done quite a while back but it seems to hold very well. Brian
KickStand Posted January 20, 2009 Author Posted January 20, 2009 Yes the hole is visible from the rear. It will need paint. I tried epoxy earlier and it helped but didn't hold and got worse.
woz111 Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) Hi, use Plastex, take a look on eBay at item number:- 110323693080 Just copy that number and paste it on the ebay search bar. I used it to completely repaire all the plastics on my Venture, works a treat. Edited January 22, 2009 by woz111
