Repairing a Tear to an Edge of a Bumper Cover

Vehicle bumper covers are damaged every day. A tear that extends to an edge of a bumper cover is one of the most common types of damage. Polyvance’s airless plastic welder can be used to repair this kind of damage.

We repaired the bumper cover by making a fusion weld. To make a proper fusion welder, the filler rod MUST be the same type of plastic as the base material. Because this bumper cover was made of polypropylene, we used Polyvance's polypropylene welding rod to match.
