A-Pillar Plastic and Tabs Keep Breaking

[SouthSeaPirate]

The cheap Chrysler job done on these pillars is ridiculous!
Apparently they simply melt the plastic to hold the tabs.
This has been broken since Ive had my XJ.

Ive tried putting the tabs back on with epoxy.
Lasts for a day... Ive dont this twice with Gorilla Glue Epoxy and Loctite Epoxy!

Any ideas what I can do?!

:hang:

I hope you find something. I've had the same issue and failed with 2-ton epoxy.

On the 97's, 98's, and 99's model years; the A-pillar plastic is held on by screws and a small cap covers the thread hole on the plastic.

Maybe find some older model plastic at the junk yard and use them. Be sure to collect the hole covers and the screws too...

I just said screw it on my '01 and a couple of black screws.

That's the route I figured I would take as well.
