This is round 2 for the repair to my top box, Norge.
The first time I took it to a plastic repairer and it was welded and was fine, for a while. Now here we go again round 2, same cracks have opened up. When I looked a bit closer I found that one of the rubber mounts that the box sits on at the back of the rack was missing and that allows the box to twist sideways a little, this must be causing the problem, I think? I am trying to get a replacement rubber support but it is not happening down here in Oz. Even the parts list at GT doesn't include the Top Box or Mounts being listed.
The problem however is the box, even with a new rubber I still have a cracked box, nothing worse, so has anyone got any advise on how to fix my busted box? I have been reading all the web sites on repairing plastic and I get a mixed response either weld or glue, the plastic is PC+ABS can anyone give me some advise that will actually work?
