Looking at my new to me Mondeo grill earlier, I realised that the monkey that removed it from the donor car simply cut through the plastic tabs that secure the grill along the bottom. :( ::)
I'll try to secure it with some self tappers, but if that's not possible I thought I'd glue it in place.
Any recommendations for a suitable adhesive that will withstand heat, cold, wet and vibrations? ???
Sticks Like Shit sounds good! ;D

Gripfill, Evostick?

When my ex wife ripped the undertray off her car, I remade some tabs by shaping some thin steel into the right shape, heating it with a blow torch then melting it into the plastic. I did similar with Penny washers to reinforce where bolt holes had been ripped open.
That lasted a year (which was longer than our marriage had in it ;D) which with her driving made it a high quality repair.
Could be an alternative to glue.
.
Well done on getting it open btw :y

Tigerseal, just msk round each side where you don't want it to ooze, and remove the masking tape while it's still wet. Will be nice and neat then.

Or Sikaflex applied as above :y
