thats normal. and common.
repair with plastex, or use a couple of small self tappers from the underside into the seat base to secure

+1 plastex. I'd never used it before and found it easy to repair.

its liquid plastic ! plastic in a bottle. i fixed something with plastex and tested its strength 24 hours later by bending it to see if the fix gave.......it broke at a fresh area of the plastic and not the area fixed lol awsome stuff and easy to use.

That's the stuff. I had exactly the same thing happen as Lizard. I was flexing the newly repaired joint to see how strong it was, and ended up cracking the fairing somewhere else. It's bastard strong once it's cured.

I've repaired it 4 times but tabs keep breaking off because when you take off the seat unit you have to flex it to clear the water reservoir and the rectifier. I think a good solution would be to replace the tabs with thick rubber ones. My question is, what glue should I use to fix the rubber tabs to the inside of the fairing?
