Stupid me, used the wrong tool for the job. Trid to load an oversized parcel into my car. Long story short it fit in the backseat, I dropped it in with the convertible top down and tried to close the top. I went slowly but there was a misalignment and popped one plastic fastener.
All but one fastener were able to pop out of their holes; the one that busted was screwed in. Of course that means that the plastic backing that makes the parcel shelf came apart. I'm assuming that this screw piece is molded into that plastic backing of the parcel shelf. Not currently sure what that plastic material is. What would be common? ABS? PE? PVC?
I'll try to find a marking and report back exactly what it is later. Top closed A-OK and everything seems fine but Ill open it later to investigate further plus find the material. Let's just assume that it is ABS. If it is what I used epoxy or would I use ABS pipe cement? If it is some other type of plastic what would I want to use then?? Should I plan on using epoxy regardless? What would be inappropriate automotive grade to use? What sort of your time is one better or stronger or longer-lasting then another?
TIA
