You will have an easyer time trying to prove global warming is due to hot air from talk show host's than trying to prove cracked plastics were caused by a shop.
I have had a few things where i have been sure they were caused by over/under tight bolts, the normal reply is you should recheck the bolts yourself.
I have just repaired the mounts on the tail piece where it bolts to the frame, 1 had a slight crack and the other side had come away compleatly. used a semi ridged dual bond resin i got from toolstaion. seems to be holding well although its only been 750 miles over this weekend so early days.
normaly i have used glass fiber on the inside to reinforce plastics. not good looking but adds a lot of strength.
Also a few body repair places will offer plastics repair, but i find they tend to be about half the cost of a new item. worth looking in to though, maybe deefer could give you an idea on cost i know he used to or maybe still dose repairs.
