The paint on my 914 where the fiberglass fender flares are attached to the body is cracking (and separating?). What do I do? Any suggestions would be appreciated. We just purchased the car and had a similar problem with the last 914 we owned. We are looking to do body work and repaint this car so any ideas or proven success would be wonderful to know about! Thanks so much!

Scott up in colorado has a beautiful Martini 914 with fastened on flares. That is a great way to do it. When I added flares to my old car, I got them glued, then filled the gap between the metal and glass, then fiberglassed over the seam. Then filled again and painted. The car survived California, Colorado, and Washington State weather without issue. I sold the car, but I am sure that Rockin Old School will chime in.
