The window and lock control panel on my driver's side door started to fall apart. I was able to pry off the cover and put the "remote" with all the controls back together despite several broken and missing screw channels -- using a hot glue gun. It was perfect! All winter.
Until the first really hot day, when I learned the car gets hot enough in the sun to melt hot glue. 😂😩

This pairs really well with the passenger side door outside handle, which completely disintegrated from sun exposure after five or six years facing South 24-7. Now that, I had repaired with some other adhesive (maybe Gorilla Glue?) then wrapped in black electrical tape, then sprayed with a random can of black lacquer paint I happened to have.
That has actually held up pretty well, maybe three years. Starting to get loose and disintegrate again, though.

I have seen people put zip ties through a hot glue gun to create a melted plastic adhesive.
Considering trying that. 🤔

This is going to be one of those MEMORABLE nights on social media. 😂
Un-Tied States of America. Online for news, social justice, and too much politics. Once upon a time I was online for science, psych, tech, cooking, critters, and creative stuff.I boost a LOT-turn off my boosts if you hate that. No terfs, ACAB, no white supremacy, no antisemitism, no Islamaphobia. Posts disappear in 1 week!https://linktr.ee/l1vyhttps://justmytoots.com/@L1vY@mstdn.social
