Long story short, I accidentally snapped the pin/lug that is on the side of my Gen 4 glovebox. Its the part that the "soft close" mechanism attaches to.
I am hoping to reattach it and perhaps "build up" something around it to give it a bit of strength. I initially thought I could use a 2 part epoxy for this, but most say they are not for use on polyethylene or polypropylene. I'm not sure what the glovebox is made out of, but it has PP-TD20 stamped on it which I think means it is polypropylene. Most of the PP glues say they aren't for "gap filling" so I wouldn't be able to build up something like I could with expoy. Do I use 2 products?
Anyone that has replaced their cabin filter will know the part I'm talking about, its the "sticky-out-bit" that the soft-close damper attaches to on the side of the glovebox.
Can anyone give a suggestion as to the best way to repair the glovebox please or how to determine the correct adhesive to use?
