Paint and plastic surgery

A Bad Repair

A Bad RepairBad Repair Inside

In the beginning this repair would have appeared fine but as time and vibration took hold the crack has opened up. This is a typical bodyshop repair, glassfibre paste to the back; body filler over the front and paint, job done!! The glassfibre and the plastic panel have different flexibility and heat expansion characteristics so the crack will always open up again.
