Yes, they are made of clear polycarbonate plastic; Lexan is a brand name for this material, but it's the same stuff. As far as I know, most of us try to do our best to protect and/or reinforce bodies with backing tape to avoid tears/cracks. Once they happen, there's really not much you can do to fix it cleanly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GermanTA03Guy 1327 Posted October 5, 2021 Hi,.. Best bet is Drywall tape and shoegoo, there are lots of videos and tutorials on the net about it... Cheers 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Crashalot 235 Posted October 9, 2021 If a crack starts to develop, drill a small hole at the end of the crack to stop it spreading. Try to avoid square corners when trimming, a curve is less likely to crack. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WideOpen 22 Posted October 10, 2021 I used clear FlexTape - I am telling ya, it worked great, pliable, flexable (duh), and sticky. I taped the outside first with the blue painters tape to get the lines to match up and then used the FlexTape on the inside - worked like a champ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
