Ken. I used 4 small C clamps with a 4" piece of aluminum to bride the crack. This kept the sides aligned, and tight together. Then brushed on the cream colored ABS adhesive about 3" wide along the crack, and 2" be on the end of the crack. I didn't coat the cloth with cement. Then pressed my precut fiber glass material into the ABS cement. Next applied a coat of cement to the cloth while the cement on the cap was still wet. Let it set up till the adhesive was hard. Removed the C clamps, and aligning aluminum strip. Then did the entire edge in the same manner to stop further cracking during cap installation. I then used 2 spray cans of REM plastic paint per cap. The color Sail Cloth is extremely close to the original color of the caps. Used self Drill/Tap screws to install curtain track, and cap at one time. I can't see the repaired cracked areas at all on the visible side. Bob Dunahugh
