Patch your broken headlight cover
#1
I fixed one that broke at the main joint and it held for several months before I replaced it.
1. I applied some glue to the broken joint and reseated the parts on the car to retain the proper position.
2. I cut some thin aluminum flashing and formed/bent it over the glued joint. I kinda bent it like this: _/\_.
3. The metal should be as close to the plastic as possible. I slathered epoxy around it and let it cure.
4. Reinstall it but you still must be careful.
BTW: I 've had them snap and blow right off. They cost $75 and it is another $75 to paint by code.
