Default Repairing Cracked Grill Frame

Suggestions how to repair a cracked rear spoiler grill frame ? Trying to determine how the frame can be removed and perhaps cement with a slice of plastic to hold the crack together ?

TIA.

Is that the rear pop-up wing? I just bought one with an exact crack.....I figure that I'm going to try to crazy-glue it back together, then repaint it...

I bought it as a spare because I'm going to be attaching a spoiler to it...like this:

If you figure out how to separate it, please let me know!

It is the rear spoiler. The last thing I want to do is repaint. I don't mind the crack if it is glued together. I'd rather buy the whole piece in black and replace it. But suspect some folks here already repaired this and have a easier solution.

Mine is enroute from Florida.....I bought it from a wrecker for $20 bucks when I was there on vacation last week. As soon as it gets here, I'll be trying to fix it. If I'm successful, I'll let you know.

Hi Jim...yep, that's your car. I hope you don't mind me stealing your pic!

I bought a used add-on spoiler from eBay......I didn't want to mess with my original pop-up wing, so I bought a spare.

Where did you find a wrecker down here?? Should have let us know if you were in the Orlando area

I bought it in Largo...Ricks European Auto Wreckers.....he had quite a few 993 parts, but not so much for our 964's. Yep....I just got back from Orlando on Monday! Spent most of my time in St. Pete's....gorgeous area down there. Didn't see too many p-cars in St Petes...but tons in Orlando....
