    Preparing the D2 for sale and decided that the sagging headlining needed to be attended to so yesterday I removed it so I could deliver it to a motor trimmer for repair. However, during the removal process I discovered a couple of broken plastic bits. Fortunately the bits that had broken off were still there so out with the Q-Bond (see post #3524, this thread) and both were repaired. The strength, ease of application and compatibility with different plastics of the Q-Bond is truly amazing.

    First was one of the clips on the 'A' pillar trip -



    And second was one of the studs on one of the mesh 'map' pockets above the rear passenger seats -

It comes as a two part, powder (different for plastic and steel but both supplied) + glue/reaction agent. It hardens in 7 seconds and can be filed, ground, drilled, tapped etc.

    Anyway, once I 'welded' all the cracks up, I ground them flush, sanded with wet & dry then painted with Primer Finisher, repeated the last two steps a few times eliminating a number of scratches in the process, then finished it with a few coats of Bumper Satin Black.

    Didn't come up too bad IMHO for a 15 year old bumper, and might even make it a bit easier to sell ......................... once I fixed up a few other little items.

    As I'm sure someone will say that it didn't happen without pics, here's a few 'graphs of the process. Unfortunately I didn't get any before I started but I'm sure the 'graphs will give you a good idea of the extent of the damage.

    Not all done today, but over the past week;


    • Finished installing my UHF into the roof console where the Sun-Roof switches go.


    • Fitted +3" extended Staino HEL Brake Lines front and rear.


    • Whipped up this neat little C/Breaker panel that fits beside the OEM fuse panel, not connected to anything yet, but its there!


    • Started to chop/bend/cut/grind/bastardise the compressor bracket from my D1, to fit the D2!

    Normally used for the kayaks but certainly came in handy for the bumper repair.

    As 67hardtop said, it's almost the same.
    The Q-Bond comes with two containers of welding powder though. One specifically for plastics and one for metal plus two containers of glue.

    After watching one of the u-tube videos on Rapid Fix, I'm now going to try the Q-Bond on some rubber repairs that other adhesives such as 'contact adhesive' and 'sikaflex' have been unsuccessful.

    I bought it on e-bay
    Have a look here -
    Q Bond Q Bond Plastic Repair KIT Bonding Glue Filler Powder Super Glue Plastic | eBay

    Plenty of others also but I found this one OK & delivery was super fast.

    I have no pecuniary interest in this product or the linked supplier.

    Worked (without the powder) on the rubber soles of my half boots although, as they were in a pretty poor state, I used a fair amount of the glue. But still have the second unopened bottle and haven't touched the grey (metal) powder.

    I think I've already had more than my $26 worth.
