How to Repair a Cracked Car Light Cover?
2 Answers
Generally, a damaged car light cover cannot be repaired and needs to be replaced. You should go to an auto repair shop to have it fixed or replaced by removing the old one. In any case, do not leave it as it is, because the cover may fall off at any time and cause injury. Prevention is the most important thing.
I've dealt with similar issues before. For a cracked headlight cover, it depends on the size of the crack. Small cracks can be fixed with professional repair kits, like UV glue sold online. First, clean the surface to remove dirt, then fill the crack with glue, and sand it smooth after curing. For large cracks, you might need to consider replacing the entire cover because fillers have limited effectiveness. Remember to wear gloves to protect your hands and avoid skin contact with the glue. Safety is crucial—if left unfixed, rainwater can seep in and damage the bulb, affecting nighttime driving visibility. I recommend watching tutorial videos before attempting the repair and following the steps carefully, which can give you an 80% success rate. But if you're unsure, it's much more reliable to go to a repair shop where they have more complete tools.
