I pulled the glove box on my 94 to install the remote entry module.The two corner glove box tabs broke into pieces as soon as the screws were loosened. I know that I and many others have had the door panel tab issues. I am sure there are other pet locations for these plastic failures.
For no particular reason, the last time I ordered materials from Eastwood, I added in a package of their Plastex Plastic Repair materials. (Eastwood.com, Part #2002, GT Motorsports Plastex). I am very impressed.
With the mold building material, I built a mold for the replacement tabs. I filled the mold with the black powder, added the liquid, and created new tabs to replace the old. They are tightly adhered and can be machined (Dremel tool) to the proper shape and thickness and can be carefully reamed out (again, Dremel tool) for the proper hole size and location.
The black material is a good enough match for the black plastic. For the glove box I am going to add some black flocking to better match the factory material.
All in all, a successful repair experience.
