repairing damaged side skirt
my wife backed into a rock and cracked a side skirt in the s55. i cannot see the damage because it is way underneath, but was wondering if i can put a metal pc. behind and glue into place to reinforce the skirt at the crack. what kind of glue should i use to bond the joint? thanks

you have to stand on your head to see the hairline crack underneath. i am looking for a replacement but considering just repairing behind the crack. i see epoxy repair kits available. just looking for suggestions. thanks

Fiberglass it with matt from the back side and it will be there for good. Glues will break when it flexes.
