Hi Everyone...
Have Vette stripped and front and rear urethane (rubber) bumpers pretty cracked.. is there any way to repair these short of replacing them?
Thanks for any ideas.

How bad are the cracks? Most of the time you will be better off replacing them. Cracks that have been patched tend to crack again.

try rubbing brake fluid into them it softens rubber and makes small cracks disappear . try it on a small spot low first to see how it does on urethane. brake fluid works great on tires too. |wavey|
