Urgent help needed

OK well first off a long time ago spun out and one thing that happened was right by my passenger side blinker/running light the fiberglass (it is, right?) cracked a little bit. I just left it alone cuz it wasnt doin much harm and you couldnt see it too much. It's been getting bigger, and yesterday i got some glue for it, intending to fix it today. Also yesterday getting out of a tight parking spot i thought i had enough room but didnt, that corner brushed up against a mountaineer tire. But i look at it today but the light fixture has slid up somewhat in the housing. It still works tho, runnign light and blinker. I'll take pictures later. My question it, how the hell can i get it back in the right place?

Re: Urgent help needed

the fascias are a plastic material, is teh paint cracked or the plastic itself? If the light is sliding in, get underneath there and see if one of the screws broke off or something.

Re: Urgent help needed

so then, incase anyone's interested...










went under and in... was able to basically push the blinker back into place (with only a little fear of the car falling on me haha... had to put faith in the jack). Took the plastic & fiberglass epoxy i bought and went and attempted to fix the crack... its ok for now but not nearly at close as i'd hoped it to be... my dad said tho that he might help me take off the nose and "bang it into place" heh, dunno whether to be thankful or scared. Either way i ordered touch up paint from the local dealership, they said it'd be in in about a week or so.

On the outside sand the crack a lil use some body icing feather it out and get your color in a spray bomb. This will make it look pretty decent.
