Hi Henkhobo, have you concidered fibre glass resin ?

Good morning Gareth,

The plastic part of this roofwindow have a crack.
Whit fibreglass isn't the right material to repair it.
Also some holes for the screws are broken too.

I hope a member change his old one for a new -better- part.
But 7 may is comming soon and than we go to Stadskanaal and I hope that all things are repaird. A few to go.

Nice weekend.

Hi Henk,

you have to check from which materiel the frame is made. If it not PE/PP you normally can glue it. Either a specail glue for the plastic, or you can also use Epoxi resin provided as "Epoxi-Knete" eg. Pattex Repair Express, etc. If in doubt you can also reinforce the area with this, or in an other wise. Then build it carefullly in your car with a butyl-sealant. At last put an additional seal with butyl-sealant over the area with the crack. I think this will last a long time.

Thanks Peter for the reaction.

I have found an good one with proper holes for thr screws.

The sealing i used was from SIKAFLEX , the black one..

After the rain this afternoon, every thing is keeping dry.
Up to the next repair.
