I have a transparent roof and need to repair it since my kid knocked it off it the wall and broke a chunk off (see picture). If you have a transparent roof panel that's beyond repair I'd love a section of the plastic so I can repair mine. I'm looking for something like a 5"x5" flat piece, going to try my hand at plastic welding.
Let me know a price shipped.
Alternatively, if you know of someone who sells the same plastic used to make these panels or something close please let me know. I've been looking around and not found anything close yet.
i have a panel with a suspected crack in it. if you plan on trying to fix one, I would offer you a whole panel to play with for a song (100 and shipping)
I know you kinda wanted something different, but let me know.
I don't believe that type of plastic is weldable...... I may be wrong though. The only time I messed around with plastic welding was while I was in school.
You can put the broken piece in water and if it floats you can weld it and if sinks you can only glue it. Something along those lines. Also if you sand on it, if it becomes powdery it's not going to weld. But if it turns mushy than yes.

Thanks for the offer but I think I found something suitable to create my repair piece.

I wish I had the piece that broke off, I cleaned the garage looking for it and it's nowhere to be found.

I did a little googling. Acrylic repair is a little more involved than I though. It does require an adhesive and a syringe etc. good luck. If you can pull it off that would be awesome !
Ahmer I can definitely use some of it. You should save the frame, remove the clear panel and either reskin it or sell it to someone here on the forum who will do that. If you'd like to cut me a few strips off and toss them in a USPS box I'll happily pay you for your time and shipping. It would be perfect to get a good section of that leading edge so I can try to make a patch out of that, then I won't have to work so hard recreating that curve.
