This is also the piece the window sweeps are stapled to. My plastic pieces are braking into pieces. If no repop is available who has had luck gluing metal strips in place to add support to what is there?
I have repaired them using ABS cement. I did not need to glue any metal strips to it as this cement is very strong. It helps to bevel or V the area of the repair to create a channel for the adhesive to fill into.
