Hi -

What would be recommended to clean the front and back of the plastic on these reflectors?
Also - would you superglue the crack in the back of the one by the mounting hole?

Thanks - Jim

Those don't look to bad. I would just clean the plastic as best you can, then maybe a bit of polishing compound. The metal frames the same. I would paint the brackets black. the crack is really no big deal as long as the screw holds good. You must have a 1970 Beetle? I believe those are 1970-only items.
