Default Tour Pak crack

I have a hair line stress crack in my tour pak running from the hinge almost to the crown of the lid. My question; is there anytning I can use to stop if from worsening? It is not really very obvious from the outside (looks like a minor scratch) but it is cracked clear thru.

I am thinking maybe some type of Bondo product that will retard it's advance...Something I can appy to the inside of the tour pak?


Thanks for any suggestions...

Had mine cracked when a few over exuberant people helped get my bike back upright. My body shop put something resembles epoxy on it no problems since. Stop by one ask them what they would do.

Check the "People of Walmart" site, I'm sure on there you can
find a Crack big enough to get a Tour Pak in........

What he said;
also consider drilling a small hole at the end of the crack to stop it from spreading, then use the repair kit to patch it from the inside.

If it's fiberglass, use long hair fiberglass bondo & re enforce on the inside. If it's like tupperware, use thin plastic & ABS cement.
