The rear hatch on my Jeep is cracked. It's an 87' Cherokee, so I'm pretty sure it is made of fiberglass, it looks like it is. What would be the best thing to repair it with?

 

a new hatch... that would be the best thing

 

 

You should be able to find one at a Junkyard for cheap.

 

ya you wont have to spend much on a new one

 

I've purchased Bondo with glass fibers mixed in to repair some holes in my RV. Not pretty but it has held up well.

Basically, remove the hatch, remove the hatch interior, apply the Bondo to the inside over the crack and reassemble. Should be strong and you won't have to color match as with a hatch off a wreck.

You can always go the new/junker route if it doesn't work and you're only out $10 and your time.

Have fun and a pic of the repair is always nice.

 

I prefer the 3m repair kit with the screen. I have repaired numerous holes with it. You can also get matching factory paint at automotivetouchup. Iirc bondo isn't flexible.
If it is a legit crack you will have to drill a hole at the end to stop it from spreading.

 

I live near Frisco, Texas, there aren't many, if any at all, junkyards around here.

 

pick in pull, 1359 North Walton Walker Boulevard, Dallas, Texas

 

Notice, it says, "DALLAS." It's not like that's down the street.

 

Well, you're sure ungrateful. Was he supposed to bring it to your door.

Talk about a strong sense of entitlement!!!

 

Take a picture of the crack so we can see how bad it is.

 

And to think I drive 85 miles one way to the Jeep recycler to get my parts.

 

I thought in Texas 30 miles is down the street.

 

all of the good jy in the DFW area are all in a 2 mile area of that pick in pull. you leave half from the pick in pull from me. i go there early other weekend. plus i pretty sure there are no jy in your area. collin county and north dallas stopped that.

i would for the right price!!!!

try 150 miles one way for me.
