An arse broke my hatch cover

We hit a particularly fine wave a few weeks ago and my other half's derriere went through my hatch cover.

Seems it's not a standard size (42.3x31.3cm) so I'm looking to see if anyone knows of someone who might make a new one or repair this one. It's from my 2002 Avon Adventure 450.

Cheers!Click image for larger version

A big arse's foot went through mine, same damage. In the end I glued mine to hide the crack and sikaflexed a plate to the back. No issues thereafter.

I needed a couple for my Delta & got them off ebay, theres lots to scroll through to find the size. Pure Chinese unbranded but actually reasonable quality

I've done similar to your repair with a piece of checker plate before but on the outside. Looked ok and worked well.
