I am looking for solution.
RV Forum - Cracked front storage lid, is it fixable?
So far this is what I have found:
*Often times when cracks appear, crack extends into one corner of the lid (rivets are stress point)
1. Replace the lid with a new one (very expensive)
2. Replace the lid with a lid home made, wood or aluminum (labor intense)
3. Drill a small hole (very small) at each end of the crack. This stops the crack from every increasing. Then fill the existing crack and the new drill holes with a bonding product that's designed for the type of product you are fixing: fiberglass, plastic, even wood, the principle is the same. After the bonding material dries, sand and buff out the excess
4. Drill a small hole (very small) at each end of the crack then use "Eternabond" - it's a white tape that is commonly used to fix leaks in RV roofs
5. Temporary fix - use strong Grey Duct Tape to help protect from rain and other elements.
If the the underside is accessible, go to an auto parts store and get a one of the kits to fiberglass rusted out areas of cars.
ReplyDeleteThey came with a roll of fiberglass 2 - 4 inches wide and all the resin needed, most used to come with a small plastic pan to mix the resin and hardener.
Put a layer on the outside also.
