Can glue fix headlight cover?
 

Below is the inside of a headlight cover.. the 2 thin brackets that you screw into are broken.. would a good application of super glue fix this problem? Or my other option is that I am purchasing various other plastic parts for under front bumper and I could go ahead and buy a good headlight cover, but will the colors match? Also.. what would a cover cost? Thanks.

I just bought a used cover for $40 bux. If your cover only has cracks in the plastic, super glue should work. If youre missing pieces, get another cover. The paint may not match 100% since every car is in different environments and not everyone takes care of the paint.

Yes, it is the best start. I used super glue on my old cover, and reinforced it with strong tape. Each tab was reinforced, and I never had a problem again.
The paint was faded on it, so instead of repaint it I just bought a new one already painted.

Get a FEED or CWest cover.

I fixed a buddies with some epoxy...harder than stock. Fill the crack with it and run your thumb down the entire length of the brace. Let it dry.

JB Weld works well also. ;)

use some plastic weld 2 part epoxy that did the trick on mine!

Try some pvc pipe cement. You can get it at your local Home Depot. Mine flew off at 150mph against one of the M3's, and i had to go and buy a new one from the dealer. If i remember it was around $70 for a new one unpainted. Got it painted, and put the pipe cement all over the seams to reinforce it. The covers are now rock solid even at highspeeds. I never had another problem with them ;)

Thanks guys.. glue it is

I agree. JB weld would be my first choice.

I used GOOP! automotive glue almost 2 years ago. Its like a silicon type glue. Works great.

my vote is on jb weld... my friend holds one of his side mirrors on his f150 with the stuff, lol.

jb weld works good for me

i may be having to do the same for my passenger headlight cover. i can see the cracks already, ill probably hit up jb weld.

im guessing you can get these from home depot type stores?

autozone and pepboys carries it too
