Help me fix my pop-up camper?

(1/5) > >>

Pulled the cover off my pop-up and found this crack in the plastic fairing. Due to the design profile, it does create a water intrusion when the popup is closed if raining. There's actually a few cracks to the right of the big one if you look closely

It's not resting on solid material so I don't think it's a job for caulk, but I'm looking for advice/opinions. I think a seal/patch on the top over the whole crack area from edge to edge is better than trying to fill the void.

Y'all are smart and handy though so I'm looking for your thoughts and recommended materials!

You could try something like this 2 part epoxy. I used it to
Fix a couple
Of kayaks and it’s held up well.

MADMAX:
Love this stuff

I’d try welding it.  Imbed a couple of staples to strengthen it and keep it from re-cracking.  Preferably, stainless staples. 

If you search YouTube for “plastic welding” you’ll find several how-to videos.
