July 10, 201114 yr My car's lights/glasses compartment fell down (the clips snapped.) I was thinking about using super glue to connect (fabirc and plastic) but I'm afraid the heat will melt the glue and make it not work, any ideas?

I was thinking about using super glue to connect (fabirc and plastic) but I'm afraid the heat will melt the glue and make it not work, any ideas?I had success with plastic to fabric bond in my previous car, it held for for years with no problems. Just apply pressure for a while to make sure bond is good, Im in Texas and heat wasnt a problem. I used it for my lights compartment to attach back to my headliner. Just my experience
July 10, 201114 yr As the title read's need some Ideas on fixing things that are getting damaged but fixing them in way the the problem wont return.Part I am interested in finding a permanent repair for. Red loctite and possibly a new bolt. That's not from bass, it's a common problem on Explorers and Mountaineers both second and third gens. The last two trucks I had, I just drilled and tapped them and ran a longer bolt through with an acorn nut on the outside painted black. I've done this repair on 6 trucks so far and none of them have had an issue since.
