Title says it all really. Question is, what is the best way to sort it out?

The current (driver's side) looks like it has already been repaired, so I want to make sure whatever I do is a sound job.

I can't tell how the original is fixed because of the repairs, I assume it was bonded in to the glassfibre?

Thanks for any suggestions!

My bonnets doing the same thing,aparantly you can get a new box(the fiberglass bit the hinges fasten to) fitted for about £50.Or you could try repairing it with some fibreglass,not done iether myself yet.

Two very large penny washers and a load of glassfibre resin in between sorted mine.

Thanks chaps. I'm not much of a DIY guy unless it's really clean and simple, so it looks like a trip to the Indies...
