One of the plastic wheel arches has cracked on my 1999 Fourtrak (my own fault for parking it too near a field gate in a high wind).

Remove and fully abrade the rear over a large area, do this in several directions to get good adhesion.
Coat with a generous layer of polyester resin and put a piece of glassfibre mat into the wetted area and stipple with the brush to ensure it is fully wetted.
Cut a groove into the crack and fill with normal body filler.
