Fixing a lexan top

[LGAFF]

heads up, if you break a back corner on one of these, some Loctite glue and sandpaper will bring it back:

1)clean the surface

2)apply generous amounts of superglue(loctite) to all of the mating surface....not your fingers....and certainly don't take a piss until you verify you are in the clear(sans glue) Windshield repair kit glue would work also I assume....hell might even see if safelite or someone can glue it for you

**fill in voids you want it to be built up slightly, don't drip it all over but you need enough over the crack to sand down and hide it....the glue will actual melt the top together...


2)make sure you hold it in place for 10 seconds......

cure for 30 minutes to an hour..overnight is even better

3)now time to blend it in

*800 grit wetsand(220 if the broken piece is misalinged and needs to be sanded down...go to 800 after 200
*1500 grit....
*rubbing or jump to polishing compound...


While this is not a perfect match on color....the sanding may be too smooth and buffing may even out the color across the panel, the repaired area actually seems smoother and shiney....around the edge of the top frame you will not be able to see the actual crack repair....for a driver its acceptable

Will let you know the long term wear on this and if it holds, I was pleasantly surprised.
