Plastic welded/soldered interior parts?
« on: December 20, 2014, 11:01:32 pm »
Hi Guys,


I need to replace the grab handle section behind the door card (10) and its plastic weldered/soldered to the door card. Anyone have any experience with swapping out such parts? Anyone know if VW do a repair kit as such? I could just glue it but wanna stay OEM if poss!

In the past i've had good results using expoxy resin (can't remember which) but had to leave it 24 hours to cure.

In my case it was @10 which needed repairing so seeing as it's not visible i adopted the cheap ass approach  :grin:
