i recovered my inserts on my door, i cannot get my passendger side door insert to stay in. the drivers side is doing great. the problem is that i dont have a lot of the original pegs to epoxy the insert to. is there any suggestions you guys can give me to hold it tight, maybe somehow extend the plastic pegs? thank you.

 

grab a blow torch and melt that bitch on


what did you cover it with? if its something krazy take some pics!

 

i used a basic fake leather/vinyl. i dont have access to a torch and i wouldnt trust myself with it anyways. thanks for the help though.

that looks nice man. where did u get that material from? anychance they had red? lol

 

i dont think they had red, this is how the driver's side looks, i can not get the passenger side to stay on too well. i need help getting an idea of how to attach it. please! i have a meet on the 27th.

What type of epoxy are you using ? Some epoxys dont work to well with polypropelene plastic ( what our interior panels are made of ) . I've never had my Door inserts out , but I do alot about plastics ( its my job ) . I would try a qwik set epoxy specifically for plastic . If thats already what youve used , try GOOP or Gorilla glue .

Or try filling the holes with JB weld , and push the pegs thru while the jb weld is still soft . when it dries it will never move again , hehe

Polypropelene is a bitch to bond back together .

 

ill try the weld if the epoxy i bought doesnt work. thanks

 

wow that looks great! btw i was just kidding about the torch!

 

If theres was alot of the peg left , a "propane" torch used carfully coulda worked . If u heated up the tip without melting it completely and tried to re-emulate the plastic sonic weld .

 

OK I take it back use the torch!! Thanks silver for making me sound good

 

i wish i could get that weld back. it would be nice.

 

1/4" self tapping sheet metal screws with large washers.

Pre-drill small holes into the plastic posts that originally held the insert on. Screw into there. There is a how-to on this;
