The project started as finally replacing my rear side windows with CR Lawrence ones that I have had for many years. We have an upcoming work rally in a couple of week and I want to replace these there. We did my front side ones last year at the same work rally.

I have several projects that need to be done requiring the inner rear cap to be removed The cap will not go out of the coach through the new rear side windows. So tonight I dropped the rear cap and found that it will go out and down the hall so the new windows are not an issue. Now I need to repair multiple cracks, holes, etc in the cap while it is out. I repaired and painted my front cap many years ago. I reinforced and repaired the cracks and holes using epoxy, fiber glass, and ground glass. It has held up for over 10 years.

The problem now is the Epoxy that I used is no longer available and I do not even know what type it was.

So here are my questions:

What is the inside rear cap made of?

What kind of glue can I use on it?

What kind of epoxy do I need to use on places where I intend to reinforce things using fiberglass and for making hard points?

Where do I buy this glue and epoxy?

Thanks

Ken B.


Tomorrow's job is installing new rear LED clearance lights that I have had new in the box for 10 years.

After that I plan to make hard points inside for the screws that hold my ladder.
