Cracked Stud Repair

Cracked Stud Repair:

The majority of mounting studs on my passenger side interior plastic were cracked, so to prevent them from breaking completely I reinforced them with Plast-Aid. Hopefully this will prevent further cracking, if not I will have to go back in and repair them with a nylon bushing per my last post.

The procedure is simple, clean with acetone, and spread Plast-Aid over the crack and surrounding area. The first picture shows the crack highlighted with silver sharpie. The second picture shows the stud reinforced with Plast-Aid.
