Technical | How To / Re: Cracked plastic- HELP!

Yeah, Im not the handiest of people so this I figured this would take more than one attempt. Had I realized the part was so cheap I would've not spent over 20.00 on other materials. haha. I'm determined to try to fix it one more time and add the sanding, etc into the process. The two pieces fit together almost perfectly i just need to find something to clamp them down with...that will probably help in the process. Thanks so much for all your tips, I do appreciate it. I will try to post a picture of the crack tonight!

thanks for the website....the part is only 55.00 but i didn't sand so i'm going to give that a shot first before spending 55.00...i mean it's really just me being anal about it. haha. Thanks again!

So I tried to fix it twice and it just keeps coming apart. Even after i've held it in place over 5 minutes it's still coming undone. i had to scrape epoxy off the scoot afterwords too which was super fun. I don't know what to try next. I wonder just how much a replacement panel would be? That's just me being vain.

No, I won't be taking it off to fix it. It's really a small, small, crack and could probably honestly go without notice but I'm OCD and must fix it. I'm going to try to do it tomorrow since it's supposed to be nice outside. I was just going to pick up some epoxy at auto zone but should probably find some of that cloth also....

Thanks everyone for the tips. I hope it goes smoothly!

Thanks...it's a clean crack. Once it's glued, you definitely won't notice it. i mean, it's pretty small and in an inconspicuous place.

Thanks again-

Yeah- if I'm going to all the trouble to get this set up I definitely want it to sound good and last! There's only certain things you can accept less quality on. Thanks for your input! I hope to get this installed by summertime for longer trips!

« on: March 15, 2010, 02:43:48 AM »
Hello-
  I just got my GV 250 on Wednesday and managed to take a tumble in my driveway on Saturday. I escapted relatively unscathed but was upset to see that the plastic cracked right near the kickstand. It's only about a less than 1 inch crack and I'm assuming can easily be bonded back together. What I do not know is what should I use that would be heat resistant?

Any help is throughly appreciated!

Thanks,
Natalie

Those all sound like doable options. I do have an iphone so I could definitely use that. I'm sure I could figure it out with a little assistance.

Jpres- Yes, Nashville! I'm supposed to be picking up my GV in Murfreesboro tomorrow but the guy seems to have disappeared now. I did go look at Franck's and really liked it. I was just a little concerned about the 17,000 miles. Should i be? I know he's babied it a lot! Josephine also said he had too!

So I haven't even picked up my 2008 GV but i'm already looking for ways to improve it! I have seen some audio/speaker sets for sale online but wondered how hard they were to install and if anyone here had done it and how good they sounded? That was a really long run on sentence. Anyhow, I'm new here but look forward to talking with everyone and learning a lot along the way!
