This is a crack where my headlight switch is mounted. I can squeeze it together with my fingers. Does anyone have any experience or advice on "glueing" it back together? I say glueing for the lack of a better term right now.

I've tried a few model glue-type adhesives on interior plastic and they all suck. Next time I'm going to use regular plumber's cement. It's rated for both PVC and ABS and will actually melt the two parts together, unlike the smell-safe junk that passes for model glue nowadays. If anyone has tried this please share...


No matter what adhesive you use you should pull that torx screw out, enlarge the hole in the plastic such that the screw is not wedging the crack apart, then put a large washer on the back-side to distribute more pressure onto the surrounding plastic and tighten the screw snugly.

I would pull the bolt out and put a washer behind it.
Then I would drill 2 holes. One on either side of the crack and run a zip tie through it to pull the crack together.
Finally I would use jb weld to seal it all up. My $.02

Yeah plan was to pull headlight switch, and get that out of the way. Just wasn't sure if anyone had a good glue or ideas of such. I appreciate the responses. I was thinking JB weld but that plumbers sealant sounds like a decent idea. I may have to experiment a little with both to see which one might hold better.
