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!

To bond the flares to the body, I used a product called PC-7, a two-part structural adhesive that is not brittle. As turnaround89 mentions, I too used the kitty hair Bondo on the majority of the blending.

If I were to do flares again, I'd go with steel. Perhaps tediuos to install, but at least you don't have to mess with so much blending as with the fiberglass flares.
