Does anyone know a repair for a crack in the lexan canopy? I found a
small crack in the lower left corner of my canopy it's about 2 inches
long coming out of the canopy bow and it just makes it to the edge of
the skirt, I've stop drilled it and I'm wondering if it can be repaired.

Andy,
Nothing will completely repair the crack but you can make it better with
"super glue" like what they use to repair auto windshields. The glue is a
cyanoacryalate. Be very careful you don't let it drip or run onto any other
part of the canopy because it will leave a permanent smudge.

Should I "V" out the crack first or just apply it to the surface?

Andy, you don't want to do any grinding just apply the liquid glue directly
to the crack very carefully. The glue will quickly seep throughout the
crack.

Andy,
At your local plastics supply store (in our area it is TAP PLASTICS) you can
get a mixture of Methylene Chloride and Trichloroethylene called various
things, Acrylic weld, Plexeweld. etc. it is a solvent that is thinner than water
and welds the Lexan. Talk to the guys at the shop and let them know what you
are doing. This stuff definitely fuses lexan. Ken G. you are the expert in
this area. Chime in. LRE
