Your best off ripping the old ones off and replacing them. I went down the road of trying to repair them and in time the cracks reappear. Use some sikaflex to stick them back on

just replace it mate, still easy to get those parts in good 2nd hand condition, no point in ****ing around wasting time repairing them

Have similar with my Calais. Want to spray the lower half but my panel beater suggested replacing the cracked moulds. He reckons anything you do won't last and the cracks will show up again in no time. Looking for a driver door upper mould myself.
