Default Ultra fairing question

I have had the center windsheild fairing insert come loose and when I got the outer fairng off I discovered that the plastic area where the new insert screws into has cracked. Short of getting a new inner fairing is there a good way to repair the inner fairing? I was thinking of trying JB WELD or Gorilla Glue. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

JB Weld works great.&nbsp\\; I used on my valkyrie fairing when the inserts on it failed. It held fine.

I have the same problem right now on the far lower left screw hole.&nbsp\\; Cracked around the insert.&nbsp\\; Next time I have the fairing off I thought I'd fix it up with JB Weld.&nbsp\\; If you try first, let me know how it works!

I will do that. If you try it before I do let me know how it turns out.

Okay, no plans to pull the fairing in the near future though, that sucker has been on and off so much it's no wonder one of them cracked!&nbsp\\;
