Wof plastic (critical to know before repairs can begin) if there is no identification symbol or it can't be readily accessed. There are two characteristics that we need to determine
1) the type of plastic
2) is the part Flexible, Semi-Rigid or Rigid.

Plastics are generally one of two basic groups Thermo and Thermo-Set. What is generally referred to as type I or type II plastics. Type II plastics are usually in the TPO family and will require the use of adhesion promoter during the rk ! Type II plastics will swim (float).

Another quick test for types of plastic is a sanding/grinding test if the plastic sands and feather-edges smoothly then it is probably a Type I and will require no adhesion promoter.  If on the other hand the plastic gums up and doesn't feather-estic and will need an adhesion promoter.  Do NOT useadhesion promoter on all plastics this can cause problems where problems didn't even exist !

Flexibility t just about in half, Semi-Rigid will flex only slightly and if the material is as hard as a board it is likely an SMC type material.
