What it be safer to buy a new top and put it on or fix this? and how would i fix this, sorry for the dark pics, it cant tell there is anything there when the flash is on

It'd be unsightly but you could use a single(or double) steel band with the screw holes to tie it down tight.Think of a big threaded clamp almost.

my i20 desent even have a rim and it doesnt bow... i would "v" out a groov with sand paper and plastic two part epoxy that together.

If a new one would cost like $30 I would just get a new one for the trouble its going to cost...

 

[wangster11235]

so i should just sand it, and than fill it with epoxy? how much does epoxy cost

 

[portabuddy]

$5 at a home improvement store... or if you wasnt the proper stuff its $5-10 at a auto paint supplyer.
