You can try epoxy for plastics, but if it cracked once, it will do it again. The plastic has become brittle and no longer will flex with the car.

Mine did the same thing. A new one is about 150-200 bucks.

Yeah it won't flex, so either replace it or do what I did, which was place a dash pad cover on it. It's tacky, but it's about all I can do...

Epoxy the back side of it where it is cracked then put super glue on the front side and then sand it, sand it again then paint it primer black. Give it a try. I've read some people glue it together then wrap it with a vinyl overlay. I've used the epoxy and super glue method and it came out great. But like the others said it probably won't flex when installing. I wasn't the one to reinstall. John
