I've been fixing/cleaning up an 82 Z28 for the past month and yesterday put a couple hours and packs of QTips into cleaning these top vents and right before the end sadly chipped this plastic connecting bridge-esque thing. The piece went flying into Cthulu knows where.

My best consideration was a fiberglass patch kit and a lot of delicacy but I don't think that'd work or be the best option anyhow. I really don't think there's much/any options besides to live with it for the rest of the car's life. A lot of the "plastic bridges" were cracked down the center anyways but neither side had one missing like the driver's side does now.

 

It is brittle. I would leave it alone for fear of making it worse.

 

Unfortunate but understood, thank you.
