Ahl 4 Posted July 24, 2003 I pushed the broken pins through from the inside (through empty rear speaker holes) and carefully araldited them back on. I also put some silicone sealer around the pins on refitting. I sanded and smoothed my rear badges to add a bit of 'misssteeek' and also to deter theives from nicking them. They go well with the graphite grey car and make it look a bit less 80's imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ADRIAN Posted July 25, 2003 Black silicone. Load the back of the badges with it and it'll be stuck forever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest richt Posted July 25, 2003 I brought some clear silicone wasnt sure if it would be up to the job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Rafe Posted July 25, 2003 Mine fell off hundreds of times with all so called tried and tested techniques. So I got my Black & Decker out and drilled a small hole through (from the reverse side to ensure accuracy) the plastic covers. Then insert what's left of the plastic into the hole (it's probably there already) and use a suitable sized (modern self-drilling type)screw in through the cover to the hole, and into the remaining plastic (there should be a little bit of a hole in the plastic if it fell off right). You can sharpen it up with a dowel (?) drill so that the screw head is flush and cover with a touch of filler (Polyfilla?) for a perfect job. Never shifts again. Rafe.
