The covers are made of ABS plastic. The best repair is made using black ABS cement from plumbing department. I did it on a 750 cover a year ago putting in a piece from a second cover to replace the busted out and missing so I made a template to cut the new piece to. Then sanded all the paint off the backside down to the bare ABS an inch or more past the seams so the cement does it's actual welding bonding of the pieces in the seams and to overlap mesh tape over the seam and cover it with light coats od the cement, 24 hrs between coats to off gas the cement. You can use blue painters tape to hold the pieces in place while the cement drys(or use super glue in the seam first to do a quick hold) follow up with the cement and mesh tape and 4-5 light coats of cement, 24 hrs between each light coat for a strong repair.
