Re: [AMC-list] FW: Door plastic fix

["Dan Ritzinger" <danritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've had the best luck repairing similar items using a hot glue gun.  I set 
the gun to the hottest setting, and work the tip of the gun along the 
backside of the crack, moving the tip in small circles, dispensing hot glue 
as I go.  The trick is to press down relatively hard on the gun to melt the 
plastic, and mix the hot glue into the melted plastic.  I used this method 
to repair the brackets on the plastic backs of my Javelin seats, and it 
worked very well.  Since my good experience with the seat backs, I've used 
this process on a number of similar projects with great success.  It seems 
to work much better than any plastic adhesive that I've tried.

FWIW...

This was forwarded to me from a fellow car club member.  Does anyone have

Does any one have a good fix for this interior piece? I tried crazy glue and
p.l. Adhesive. Both worked for one use . Pressure to the top pops the fix .
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Tyson
Even a good lead on a cheap used one. $45 with sun damage and no shipping so
far is the best I have found
