    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

Door panel plastic type?

I'm attempting a repair on my daughter's 2005 Mitsubishi Gallant interior door panel. One of her friends tried to fix it with some unknown caulk/goo which did not stick well. I have it cleaned off and used acetone to clean the residue. The acetone did not significantly soften the door panel, so I don't think it is ABS. The panel has a "Y" shaped split about 9" into the bottom corner. I would attempt JB Weld, but if someone here knows a better product I would like to know. The panel is soft plastic, in that I used a wire brush to help get the previous repair material off and the brush leaves marks in the plastic. Any thoughts?
 
My honda's door panel cracked, I used a little fiberglass cloth and epoxy. Has held strong for 3 years plus.
 
Most plastics are marked with 3 or 4 letters. HDPE, high density polyethylene, ABS and so on. If you can find the markings crosreference them to the net. Some plastics glue well and others defy all glues, and can be bonded with heat. Good luck with it.
