My grills are in really good condition, except...The passenger side is broken where the screw holds it in near the headlights, on the bottom side. It’s otherwise near perfect condition.
Has anyone repaired the plastic around a screw, where plastic is missing? I’ve googled “plastic welding” and looked for a local professional in this area (Austin), but thought this community might have some experience. I’d just buy a replacement but they are either really expensive or not nearly as nice as what I have (barring the broken bit) or both.
BTW, you can’t see the break. But, it causes that side to pop out just a bit - maybe 1/2”. Not noticeable to most. But, @Peter Coomaraswamy noticed it from about 10 feet away at a C&C here in Austin a few weeks back! Damn aficionados! Honestly, I wish I had that eye for detail. I just don’t. Brain doesn’t work that way.
Thanks,
Joey
