Re: 97 wrangler cracked plastic.....
I have gotten away for each season using clear packing tape. Just the
common stuff. It stayed on very well and was even a pain to get off for
the next season's tape job.
I tried 'duct' tape on a window crack last weekend and it already has
failed and fallen partially off.

Re: 97 wrangler cracked plastic.....
Cal,
Why not make the son figure it out?
Have him do the research, and the running AND foot the bill for the tape AND
figure out how to apply it in freezing temps.
Maybe next time he will think before he unzips.

Re: 97 wrangler cracked plastic.....
You might try clear packaging tape. I use it on a lot of things and it
sticks to most anything. It's tear resistant. Get it from an office supply
