I have that exact same crack and am in for some info.

I picked up one of those fender deflectors at a junk yard off a firebird but I think you can also find them on ebay.

Use tin tape on the outside as a temporary mold then sand the inside with 80 grit and v out the crack with burr bit. Use 1 1/2oz chop strand fiberglass with polyester resin, about 5-6 layers rolling all the air out between layers .Let cure remove tin tape and should be good hard to detect crack if time was taken to ensure panel alignment before layup

fusor makes a product that would be better suited. its 142 a plastic panel repair. use the same process orange 88 mentioned. the fusor is made just for plastic and will expand and contract the same. also still have a little flex to it.

Go to oreillys and get their plastic apoxy, I used it for several hole repairs on my bumper, and it holds up great, and can easily be sanded smooth.

Use this...

Amazon

You need a special gun to use it. ALSO, make sure you lay out a long bead to ensure its mixed well before you use it on your panel.

Im sure there are some youtube videos on a how to fix it. To long to type out. you need to V out the crack use some on back side etc.

That is the correct stuff to use and it will hold for a long time.
