i'm sorry man make a signature or please state what vehicle you are talking about as there are differences between all of them.

regardless, someone good with fiberglass may be able to do something, otherwise, no? honestly i dont know.

The OEM rubber aerowings with the metal frame inside can't be repaired easily since the rubber flexes. As it was said above, spend the $300+- for the fiberglass wing. Anything you do to fill in the cracked rubber will look like an obvious attempt to cover up the crack. No amount of paint with flex agent can cover the crack either.

use epoxy and try to fill the crack as much as possible and sand it down n paint it n see how it looks. shouldnt be too horrible.

Yeah the rubber wing is virtually impossible to fix unfortunately. Even if it looks good at first it will not hold up....wish there was better news for you.

yea, aside from cracking, it usually curls up and bubbles out on the inside of the front extensions.

Plus, its TONS heavier then the fiberglass ones. So if you have weak hatch struts, it wont slam down on your head as bad .. :)

forgot to mention the fiberglass repo is what i got. But this was from Ramairhood.com (same design) before they stopped selling it. Then I also put on a 87-90 hatch to ditch the high mounted 3rd brake light.
