Have tried plastic welding using both air plastic welder and a soldering iron. The plastic just smokes up and turns very brittle. Does not melt.
What have others done to fix their lips?
I was thinking araldite + fibreglass reinforcement across the cracks both inside and outside.
Any other ideas?

I'd just use some chopped strands of fibre glass, put some filler on, sand it, paint it.

Re: Garage vary lip repair.
I will be using csm on this internal side after the repair is made. Going to try and get my hands on one of these plastic welding rod devices.
Cheers!
