Default My "fix" for those darn map pockets

We all know the holes break out of the map pockets, so here is my solution... for good!

I just cleaned the area around the holes.

Then filled the holes and surrounding area with plastic filler (like "bondo" for plastic) You could use Epoxy or JB Weld as well.

Grind it smooth and drill new holes and done! Stronger than ever!

Default Nice fix!

I need to do something like that, the drivers door one flops around. So many little odds and ends to tie up on these cars, its nuts!

Default I'm fixing all of these "little things" at school

When I'm waiting for something to dry or cure, I'll mess around inside the car for about 20 mins at a time.

Default Very creative fix

Now I have to find the one that broke off of my coupe and do the same thing.
