Okay guys, some updates will be coming next week, ran into some problems on the drivers side plastics. One stud was broken off at the base and has given me a real headache, I have gone through two attempted repairs so far and am finally going to do it the right way this time.
My first attempt was to take the broken stud and reattach it with the Plast-Aid. While attempting to glue the stud and plastic together everything shifted and would not line up correctly with the door panel. Also, I decided it was a half-assed way of doing it so on to attempt two.
Attempt two started with a nylon bushing similar to the stud repair outlined above. Everything went together without a hitch and appeared to be fine, but turns out
Plast-Aid does not form a chemical bond with nylon. When I repaired the last stud I used more than enough Plast-Aid to form a mechanical bond; however, there was no way to get that much on this stud. I am not worried about the last stud I repaired coming apart because of this revelation, but I realized I needed to take a new approach.
This third fix will work as I am done playing around
. I have ordered ABS rod from McMaster Carr and am going to make one heck of a robust stud. I will outline the process and post it here sometime next week.
