Question
I backed into a "hidden" post and cracked my rear dually fender. All the pieces are there, it's just cracked. What is the repair for these plastic fenders? This a play truck, not a show piece, I just want the repair to look "clean".

Thanks,
Tom

Answer
TOM.......THE BEST WAY IS TO USE A PLASTIC REPAIR KIT/WELDER WHICH CAN FIX THE CRACK.
THE COST IS AROUND $150-200 FOR THE PLASTIC WELDING KIT.

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SPEND THAT KIND OF MONEY I SUGGEST YOU RUN IT BY A BODY SHOP WHO MAY HAVE PLASTIC REPAIR MATERIALS ON SITE AND COULD REPAIR THE CRACK FOR YOU.
