Glove Compartment Came Apart

[Luke1975]

My glove compartment came apart when I opened it the other day. It was close to 100 degrees outside so it had to be a lot hotter inside. Went to get something out of it and the outside of the glove compartment went straight to the floor. I an guess the little glue circles holding it together go hot and let go. I live in Virginia so I imagine more sotheren state get hotter in the summer then here.
Anyone seen this?
What kind of glue should I try to repair it with?

I'd use a quality contact cement. Apply on both mating surfaces. Let dry/cure per instructions. Then stick together. Make sure your are aligned. Only get one shot.

Never seen that before.

Looks like a couple of those adhesion points fractured.

A little glue on the matching points should put it back together.

That should be an easy fix, but I'd expect that to have been glued together at more points form what I can see.

If I don't know better, also looks like you have a pint of hoochy in you glove box.

Don't use contact cement...that will separate with heat and time. Your best bet is to find out what type of plastic it is (ABS, Polystyrene, Polyethylene etc...) and get a cement that is comparable. By law there should be a recycling symbol cast onto the parts that identify what they are made of. You want a cement that will weld the two halves together like the plastic parts of a model kit.

If it were me, I'd look at a product like Devcon Plastic Welder, an epoxy plastic bonding material, easily mixed and applied....available at most hardware stores.....I've used it and had good success on a number of projects.........best regards Plum
