well either buy another piece or try to fix with some fiberglass and some "plastic" filler. It's a lot less of a headache if you just replace it. I had a friend that the same thing happen and he took it to a good stereo place and they fix it with fiberglass.

Depends on the crack if it cracked the platic only then you can apoxy it, if the vinyl cracked also (as mine did) then you may want to find a new one cause the vinyl is hard to repair.
ALSO once you fix it or if you get a new/used one, support that area! On the underneath of the tunnel cover you will see a couple of tubular braces that give it suport. I broke these off my old one and apoxyed them onto the new one. I put them up close to the front of the cover where you mainly rest your elbow. Now with these there the cover has the support to hold your elbows weight.
