Anyone have the correct type of plastic used for the front and rear caps? I want to reinforce the cracks and stop the spreading.

It is SMC - get the correct resin and fabric - not the same as normal fiberglass.

Are you talking about the outside "fiberglass" or the front and rear interior ABS ceiling?

Interior cap(s) ABS is the apparent concensus. I'll treat my repair as to ABS.

Armand —
are you sure? I believe he is talking about the inside cap over the driver’s head.

I misunderstood. Thought he was talking about the outside cap vs. the headliner.
