« on: 24 February 2008, 12:31 »
i wanna know if i can somehow glue these two securing bolts back onto my window motor...it still works fine but the rubber bushes on the bolts snapped of....whats the strongest glue to use?..i'll clean away any remaining rubber before i glue.

Obviously theres superglue, but for "weird" surfaces (e.g. rubber to wood) I've used evostick impact adhesive before and been very impressed. In halfords they have super superglue though, so I'd have a look for something like that.

lol, I did the exact same thing to my windows ages ago, I tried Evostick impact adhesive (I love that stuff), regular superglue, 2 part epoxy glue, fibreglass resin, then gave up. I settled with sticking a big cable tie around it - held up for the past 6 months just fine.
