Jeff,
Last summer, when installing a solar vent in my sky lite,
I was advised to buy a product which, when applied to
hairline cracks in the plastic, will "meld" the crack.
Can't remember the name of the stuff, but it's cheap & comes
in a small bottle.  Ask for it anywhere that sells/fabricates
plastic for cars, etc.  Might be all you'll need.
Good luck,
Phaedra
