Do I use the painted repros or the cracked originals? I'm leaning toward the originals because they are assembly line parts...
Try repairing the original first. I've been using Loctite superglue for plastic parts, works very well. Get the one in the blue container, 'Professional' on the label. Sold at Lowe's.
Definitely worth the effort to repair the cracks (thanks Charles)--the underlying issue is that the area that is cracked needs to fit over the windlace at the front of the door opening. The reason the cracks developed in the first place is that the windlace is too thick--we're talking all factory parts here-- so once the kick panels are repaired they will still be too tight to fit over the windlace without cracking open again! Anyone ever experience this issue?
