Cracked Soft Top Frame Fix

[frustratedkoopa]

Hey Everyone,

I was cleaning out the Jeep and noticed this nice little crack/fracture on my soft top frame (OEM).

I was thinking some gorilla glue (or stronger), plastic brace and some electrical tape... not the finest fix but just curious if anyone has repaired this or better input.

Cheers!

JB quick? It’s black and is used for plastics a lot, might blend in ok and hold well

Nice call. This looks like it will totally do the trick. Appreciate the feedback.

Unless you HAVE to have it right away, I'd take the time to remove the piece from the Jeep and set it up in a makeshift jig to be sure everything is lined up. Also, since you can't pit any epoxy in the "front" part of the piece (the side you show in your pics), make up for it by building it up really thick on the other side so as to give the repair some strength. A bit of fiberglass mat in the epoxy would also go a long way in strengthening the repair.
