hypothetical. Cracked side mirror housing, silicone it?

Say there is this guy, not me. Lets call him, coyoteman. He was backing his vehicle up, lets call it a 5FastWalker. Well he (not me) was backing up into his garage when BAM! The side of the house somehow shrank overnight. Probably from the cooler weather. He clipped the side mirror and it bent back the wrong way. Glass is fine, but the house cracked. He, not me, managed to get it back together relatively nicely buuuut there is a tiny bit of a gap in one spot on top between two of the plastic pieces. How would you go about filling this teeny tiny void? It really is minute and can't see inside or anything but just wanted to be super safe about water. A bead of silicone maybe? Or some good ol' epoxy maybe? What an idiot this guy coyoteman is huh?

 

Plastic epoxy. Painters tape on both sides of the crack. Spread epoxy, remove tape immeidately. Let cure.

 

lol I did this. And mine is a lot more banged up than yours (er, I mean your friend's). A couple chunks of the housing missing. And the jagged crack on the outer edge grabs a leaf everytime I back up through some foliage that overhangs my driveway. I can drive for miles and miles with one of those leaves stuck in there and fluttering away....

 

Perfect. Thank you!

lol not my "friends" finest moment. What did you end up doing?

 

Lol yeah, nor mine. I’m just living with it. Maybe at some point I’ll ask my local shop to replace what’s needed to deal with the cosmetic and “leaf issue.” I’m not sure which parts are needed. But it can’t be the whole assembly. Or

I may try to glue the jagged cracked piece so it doesn’t get worse. At some point it might snag a whole branch lol.
