Default How do I fix a cracked ITR wing?


I had placed my stock ITR wing up on a shelf and well I accidently hit the shelf and it fell down. **** happens I guess. It seems to have cracked at the seam on the leading edge. First of all I'm not sure which material the wing is made of, polyurethane? Anyone know of an adhesive that won't damage the material?

Heres a pic of the leading edge. Its kinda interesting, it looks like the wing cracked where it was fused together. Looks like Honda didn't make the bonds as strong as the rest of the wing.

Take it to a local body shop and have them touch it up...

I doubt it's made of polyurethane..why should they? The wing does not need to absorb any damage under most circumstances.... (excluding accidents like rolling over and stuff )

Mine cracked like that ON THE CAR. It wasn't quite as severe as that but it was on both sides. The dealer replaced it. After some sqabbling about getting it repainted at their body shop, they told me to bring it back when the regional guy came in. I did; the guy took one look at it and said replace it.

Ewwww... that's not good.

I'd have it replaced under warranty if possible.
