How to repair an abs plastic coleman tent trailer roof.

The crank mechanism no longer clicks as i raise the roof. How do i repair a crack in my abs plastic roof on my 2003 coleman bayside model made by fleetwood. The idea was good no seams for water to leak in etc but in reality the abs roof didn t hold up on most trailers. The most recommended way to fill cracks is to use an abs paste made of methyl ethyl ketone mek and abs plastic either purchased pellets or shaved directly off of scrap abs.

Pour equal parts abs powder and mek into a glass jar. Well in the mid 90 s coleman had this fantastic idea to make a one piece abs plastic roof on some of their higher end pop up trailers. Clean the area with abs cleaner to remove all debris sap or anything else on the roof. Abs powder and mek can normally be found in the pvc area at most hardware stores.
