thanks it looks like the previous owner used epoxy witch stuck well to the plastic but not to the metal .I've never tried it on the sidecovers, but I know that JB Weld sticks very well to the painted Tupperware[SUP]®[/SUP] pieces. It would also give you more time to install the cover so the (new) pin aligns to the grommeted hole.
The metal he used is a little too snug in the rubber Gromit too. has anyone come up with a better more permanent repair
Thanks, I saw similar repair on another site but my whole piece that the pin was on is gone so I have nothing to drill through to help stabilize it the previous owner just Apoxsee the head of the bolt right to the plastic the Apoxsee held the plastic but not the bolt head.I used a bolt with a nylok nut, plus two additional flat nuts (sorry I don't recall the size). The nylok nut was ground down until it fit into the rubber grommet easily. The head of the bolt was cut off, and the two flat nuts were placed on top and bottom of the remaining plastic from the original pin. JB Weld was applied on the top and bottom nuts to lock them in place and add rigidity to the repair. It's been off and on many times and it's been there about three years.
