Some of you have been there - one of these days you other guys will be there- I have broken plastic issues in the front left inner fender - what's the best glue to use to repair breaks, I'm using JB Weld on one spot and won't know results until morning.

I've used JB weld with success on many plastic projects. Some plastic type material is difficult if it in an area with forces being appplied to it,
I had tried JB weld on a spare C6 radio surround console crack, just below the base of the temp controller, but it would not hold. That particular area would have had to be pinned with metal from the back and front filled in with JB or epoxy. I never did attempt that fix since I had purchased a new console.

Good Luck

I LOVE JB WELD!! The repairs has turned out great - if she passes the backing out of the drive way test (spoiler always scrapes) then we're good.
