body work with club cart

pharewayphred · 03-09-2011, 09:34 AM

Is there a way to repair a cracked or damaged portion of the molded plastic body part (in this case front cowl). I posed this question a long time age on another board and there weren't any great answers. I wondered if time and technology has offered better ways to work with the molded plastic. I used bondo but am not real excited by its holding power.Thanks

Not up to speed with photo posting yet. However, a quick description is:"just rear of the headlight recess on the driver's side. a three -four inch jagged vertical tear from th edge of the cowl." I tried BONDO but it didn't seem to adhere well. and the vertical tear seemed to flex enough to break the bond.

I'm not a body repair expert, but I would believe that there must be some type of specialty plastic epoxy you must use to perform the needed repair and then bondo it. I would ask a place like napa that deals in those supplies. They'll get ya what you need.

Plastic welder most body shops have them to repair most new car bumpers.
