Repair to rear hatch

Brian Oblivion · Post by **Brian Oblivion** » 18 Jun 2004, 05:54

I reversed into a tree some weeks ago in my ZX. The bump broke the rear o/s light cluster lense and cracked the hatch corner just above the lense. I was quoted £120 excess on my insurance to fix the damage but got hold of a new lense for £2. That leaves the crack on the back of the hatch to repair which looks like its made of fibreglass.
The cracking is similar to a series of fine cracks radiating from one point and about 3 to 4" square. Theres no perceptible dent so I wondered whats the best way to repair (cosmetically) the damage.

A good clean and some plastic filler (bog) is all that's required, followed by some touch up paint.

I shouldn't say this but I see Hal**ds do a plastic repair kit for this sort of thing. [:D]
