I've got a sharktooth grille for my duster and there are two cracks in it. What have you guys used before to repair a plastic grille? And any tips on doing the repairs? Thanks.

Try Testors liquid cement in the bottle (not the tube).

Never thought of that, although I was thinking more of a 2 part epoxy or something. Anyone?

Couple of methods.

JB weld will work but I'd stay away from the JB qwik. That stuff started to disintegrate an air grabber set up I had to repair.

If you have a spare grille as a donor, scrape some shaving off of it into some acetone. It eill break doen into a gooey substance, bevel both side of the crack and fill.

I used plastic epoxy and a product called Plasti-Fix, which is really cool stuff if you need to repair missing areas.

Also found here, though with a slightly different name:

I did some grille repair work on my 71 Challenger grille (was in 5 pieces). PC-7 worked great for me. Here is a post on how I did it.
