2010 Freelander 2 TD4_e S Manual Stornoway Grey
Metal repair

Need to fix a slight crack in the bit of bodywork where the boot gas trut fixes on our Audi A4 estate. The strut came loose recently and I think it has damaged the panel where it fixes in. Don't want to take it to a body shop for welding as I can't be bothered but want to stop water ingress so need a product to fix / plug the gap? Anyone used or can recommend anything? Cheers.

if you have enough smooth space around the crack, how about some good old fashioned gaffer tape?
