Dash Repair

[AU Doc]

One of the mounting studs on my dash gauge carrier pulled out of the back. Looks like one of the screws was cross-threaded. Does anyone have any tips on how to fix it?

I was thinking maybe just epoxy it back in. It really doesn't have to be that strong. Just enough to hold the carrier against the dash to keep it from rattling. Any recommendations on an epoxy for a small repair like that?

I would use a two part glue like 3-m panel adhesive. it would be expensive to buy the kit just for that job, but I bet you could take it to a body shop and they would glue it pretty cheap.

Wow. Hadn't thought of that. Good idea! I'll need to do a little research to make sure it will bond plastic to metal, but if it will that would certainly be a stronger bond than would be necessary.

JB Weld is my go to for most things and never let me down.
