I'm in the same boat!!! Did some research into acrylic glues and it boils down to two. Thick and thin. I think the thin solvent acrylic glue might be the best choice to get into the crack. It dries very fast but doesn't have the strength of the thicker glue. We are going to have to drill a hole at the tip of the crack,this is where the thick glue will be needed. My cracks are on the passenger side and behind the frame so placing some tape on the underside is going to be tough.In the next few weeks i will get around to trying to repair. Let me know how you make out. :cheers:
