Truck got in a little mess yesterday. Anyone teach me how to stich plastics? What type of materials I should get?

Do you just drill holes on each side and tie them together with something, like a thin metal piece...or??

Thanks for any help

On a fourwheeler yeah cut small holes and use zip ties. What was plastic on your truck that has been cracked?

never done it before but seen guys do it.dont look to hard.drill holes on each piece.place it where it should go and use some zip ties to hold it together.lace them like your lacing your shoes.make the criss crossed like stitches.thats only good for a bit.you should after a bit buy a new piece.either way,good luck with it bro.
