Header panel repair
Just wondering if anyone has tried to repair fiberglass on header panel. My is cracked on one side and missing a small chunk.
I notice that they are hard to find used without being damaged .

My experience with aftermarket grill pieces, less than impressed. They are plastic, weak, not totally smooth and the edges need to be deburred. Fit and finish do not compare with OEM.
I repaired my panel with quality 30 minute epoxy, not the 5-minute crap in the self dispensing syringe. Used fiberglass cloth, and micro bubbles as filler.
