Taz_Rx Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 This seems to be a common problem as its happened to a couple of my cars, so I thought I'd do a quick 'how to' while I fixed mine as both were broken... Step 1. Use a dremmel to grind back whats left of the broken platic seat. Step 2. Sit a suitably sized washer over the hole so that its centred and hold it there. Step 3. Glue the washer to the plastic from behind. I'm using hot glue, but sickaflex would probably be better. Step 4. Use a black permanent marker to hide the washer as some of it can still be seen with the screw in. Step 5. Re-fit to car! :hmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78_7kRolla Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Excellent stuff si. I did exactly the same to my drivers side one only I sprayed the washer :hmm: I think this has come up before, maybe about two years ago on here meh. good on ya anyways.

Sam_Q Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 hey thats really smart thinking, may I suggest the product Q-bond? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiP Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 WoW great thinking Si. Would Araldite work too?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted April 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Yeah mate, can pretty much just any clue that won't melt the plastic badly - like some superglue will. Would probably also recommend NOT using hot-glue as mine has already cracked off again. Just about to re-do them with sikaflex. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philthy30 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 your a champion mate this has been pissing me off for ages in my 30 i think Q-bond would work well it seems to be able to do anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towe001 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 hey thats really smart thinking, may I suggest the product Q-bond? Yep Q-bond is what your after, not Sikaflex. Unless its for an area that has to be flexible, cause it sets like concrete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinky Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 A good glue option could also be araldite, Use the 5 min araldite and it can have a bit of flex but plenty of grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My original hot glue (pictured above) ended up cracking away, I ended up re-doing it with 24 hour areldite and never had a problem since. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy43 Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Good thinking. I grabbed some from the wreakers a few weeks back, Cause mine are broken too. Bugger I should have waited and fixed them. Cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
