I the process of replacing the AC/radio trim bezel I ran into a major problem when I went to put the center AC vents back in. Apparently the torx screws were so tight and/or old that the plastic frame that the 2 torx screws screw into sheared off. I managed to save one but I need so guidance on what type of adhesive to use to attempt to glue the part that broke. If I can't get this to work does anyone have any other good ideas? Thanks!

I've used JB Weld in similar situations, the biggest problem with the location is the size of the fragments. Had to use Q-Tips and build the surface up over a couple of days with the piece laying on my workbench.
Might try looking on the Loc-Tite website for specialty adhesives. Ive pulled my center piece out to clean the contacts on the A/C before so I know exactly what you're seeing.

Thanks, that's right along the lines I was thinking but was hoping that there was an easier mend. Now I'm hesitant about taking anything else apart for fear of breaking more stuff.

So did you see my second post with the link to the Loc Tite putty ?
