Default Broken Rib Repair Method

I got a new OMP Kat 70 V2 ARF recently and I noticed that the top of one of the ribs is broken but it is still in place. What I was wondering is if I could take a syringe, put some CA in it and then stick it through the covering to fix it. Would this be a good option to try? I just want to try and avoid having to cut and peel the covering back to do the repair.

Thanks in advance.

It might be worth a try....or cut and repair it from the bottom. Then again, you
might just leave it alone for now. Haven't you ever ruined something....

....by trying to "make it just a little bit better"?

FBD.
