Any one ever repair the plastic arm rests on door panels? Part in question is from a 64 Dodge. Where the mounting screws go through the arm rest to secure to the door, the plastic ribbing is cracked. Is this fixable? Plastic welding comes to mind, but not sure.
 
They should be available.. what car is it?
Old ones will always have bad chrome...if any still of it still remains.

I've given-up on the spray chrome, as it just looks like grey paint to me. Aftermarket ones with nice chrome are about $80...I think that Van's Auto has most of them. Getting original ones re-chromed is over $200, I've found.

Anyone else have any luck??

For a 64 Polara. I know they are available, but living north of the 49th parallel, means by the the time they arrive at my door, a pair will cost me at least $200 - $300. At some point I'd like to get a set of re-pops, but for now my "thrifty" me says try to fix what I have if possible.
