    Anyone knows a good glue, adhesive, sealant, liquid nails...that can fix a door panel?

    The plastic clips on the inside door panel that hooks to the metal door holes are easily broken, and the plastic mounts of these plastic clips also gets easily broken.

    So other than replacing the whole door panel, a "plastic surgery" is deemed necessary that requirea a good glue/adhesive/sealant on lawanit-like door panel material and plastic.

    Many thanks for your input...

    Use 3M double adhesive tape.

    If you want strong bond, use the moulding tape (red).

    All purpose type is colored white.

    Available at mall hardwares.

    Or you can try putting rubber gum to the plastic clip for more grip.

    Is this for your bimmer Eric? If yes, forget about the plastic clips, it sucks big time. I used WURTH Silicone sealant (the black one) for my M-Tech trims.

    Many thanks WF, yes it's for the 325 driver's side door.

    Where do you buy Wurth?

    David, yes the clips are cheap but breaks easy and sometimes if you force it, the very mounting for the clips also breaks. So you really need a good glue to, like solidify the mounting again so it will hold the clips in place...and pray the clips hold and don't break.

Glue, adhesive, sealant, whatever works...
