well its hard to bond glass to urethane also ...its fairly easy to mold glass to metal,,we use stuff called vette bond which is used on vettes..its hard to mold anything urethane..imagine molding a plastic bottle to your car..close to the same

I would really try to find some repair adhesive/filler for automotive plastics. 3M makes the Duramix line of products that may work for what you need if used with the right seam reinforcement and some overlap, etc. Try to find a Duramix dealer and discuss what you want to do. Most urethanes and TPO plastics are "oily" plastics, and you have to get special products to stick to them, etc. The cool thing about Duramix stuff is that it cures to be the same hardness as the urethane, and then it's just sanding and finish work from there....

Urethane expands and contracts due to the tempature change. A company called "CREST" which has a place in yorktown makes stuff called "Rigid Red" which works really good..... but i guarantee its still going to crack.

are you complaining that the edges and bodylines dont line up with the fenders.that can be fixed and still doesnt have to be molded...anyway if u want it molded i can and are willing to do it..but there is no guarantee on how long it will last..id like to see the car so you can show me your problems and maybe i can fix them without molding it..call 722 2199 ask for duane
