Plastic Repair
I just bought a used door panel to replace the one on my Blazer, which looks like new, except that where two screws attach it under the door handle to the door, the plastic is broke out. It had been attached using a couple of flat washers to fill the gap, which I could do also, but I would like to restore it as close as possible to new condition...or perhaps stronger, since these panels damage easily.
Therefore, I'm considering using or making a couple of thick plastic "washers" and gluing or welding them in place. I've read some about gluing other types of plastic, but the best that I can determine, these are made of molded ABS...at least they were a few years earlier. What is the best means of performing this type of repair? Appearance is not really important, because the repair will not be in a visible location.
