I'm in the throws of swapping the heater core on the 90 and as I pull stuff out it appears that either time, mileage or other people have broken many of the tabs holding the various trim pieces together. I've never taken this stuff apart before so it's not my fault (for once ) I figure that getting these pieces bolted down correctly will cut down on the creaking.

Some of the pieces are just cracked so I suppose a little superglue or maybe epoxy should do it. Any ideas what I should look for to make sure everything is compatible and that it really sticks?

The other problem is missing tabs. How to I fix these? I'm not sure how to add material with any strength.

Thanks!

This stuff works well:

I'm gonna have to try that out! Plenty of plastic to break in an old C3.

Yea, that stuff is real interesting.

Also, J.B.Weld works well on plastic.
But, I'm not 100% on how well it works on ABS, I need to try it again.

If it actually bonds to polypropylene (unlike the crazy glues or epoxy)it will be most useful.

Now that is a product that looks to be very handy.

That stuff looks pretty nifty.

That's right folks, step right up. It glues ,it screws, you can paint it blue, You can sand it, mold it, and easy to hold it. It's the miricle of the 21st century. Why buy one when you can get two? Space aged technology right in the palm of your hands. Amaze your friends and neighbors. You'll be the talk of the town. Step right up, come on, you sir, step right up.

I even used it to repair a vacuum cleaner - a chunk broke out of a plastic tube, and I molded a new piece for it. It has held up for a few years now.

Wow, I'm interested to see how well it works!

Looks like a must try

I bought a plastic welder from good ole harbor freight, I have plastic welded a door panel that was almost cracked in half, and also welded the rear where my spoiler mounts in the rubber. Just my .02
