The photo shows the cracked backing board for a cabin bolster from my 2003 220WA. Rather than tear it all apart and find a new board I’m looking for an adhesive that would repair this crack. The bolster is original. How can I tell if this is Starboard or PVC? I’m hoping it is PVC so that I can use something like Azek adhesive to repair it. This is the bolster that covers the gap between the sidewall and cabin ceiling so it’s not structural.  |

Doesn't look like starboard from the pic, I'd go ahead and glue it and see how it goes.

back the crack with some 1/4 starboard and spread the glue grab over as wide area as possible as well as the crack itself. why'd it break? might google it there is a system that uses metal WMWMW shaped flat plate. unit heats up the metal WMWM and you imbed in the plastic doing several over the space of the break(like picture frame "nails". Have not used it but looks good. I have used Harbor freights plastic welding unit(inexpensive but requires a air compressor). worked well for some broken grill and dash parts but not load bearing fixes. But what/where your fixing is taking loads(why it broke, or was it a impact), regardless I would go for a replacement as never had good luck on "gluing" this type of break. But hey why not try right.  |

It looks like it's semi-flexible.
Attwood 7200 from Walmart is like Duct tape......it fixes everything.
