fender repair 4th gen F body Have 2 used fenders I need to salvage
bottom tab at the rocker panel is cracked
what can be used to glue it back?
I have a plastic (hot air) repair gun.
Or is the 2 part adhesive better?
Have a bumper thats cracked also,can I use same repair method?

well if i remember correctly the fenders are polyurathene plastic, not to sure about the bumpers some yrs were polyurathene some went to TPO/TPE/TEO
the most important thing to remember about plastic to identify the type of plastic your working on, polyurathene is yellow on the inside now that plastic is a non offlien plastic which mean it does not need a adheshion promoter for a product to stick and bond too
TPO/TPE/TEO/PP are thermo-set offlien plastics which need a adheshion promoter for anything to stick and bond too

the fenders I need to repair are not those
the pics are just to show the type of material.
I need to repair the bottom attachment point where it goes into an "L"
and attaches at the lower part of rocker/subframe.
Both fenders have a crack in them at the L.
