Default How to fix bolt holes in fairings???

3 out of the 4 holes in my rear fairing are broken. Either cracked or the plastic itself is broken off just around the hole (making the hole too big to hold the bolts in)

Ive never done fiberglass but is that what I should do? Bondo definitely wont fix this and im not sure the best route besides get a near fairing....which cost 200+ alone.

I just have to create something about the size of a quarter and somehow mold it to the fairing....I can take pics if this is not understood.

Thanks.

you could try plastic-welding some tabs back in to place using a soldering iron (youtube has some vids to help)
