Repairing Interior Plastics

[TheAutumnWind]

I've snapped some clips removing interior trim around the doors and back wall of the cab. Is there is a generally acceptable way to repair these things? It doesnt need to be perfect, just functional and not rattling all over.

I also seem to be missing a couple of the clips for the trim on the back wall under the rear window. Any idea where I can find more?

Sometimes you can get lucky at the junkyard, but singles cabs are getting hard to find. I found using velcro helped with panels that are close to the body. In some areas I used self tapping screws. Velcro also works good for padding noisy panels.

That back panel looks like the same one that is used on the extended cabs

Plastic weld them back on with a soldering iron ($5 from walmart) and a ziptie. That will be my approach anyway.

You could plastic weld the actual piece you snapped too or, if you can find one, buy a new (used) one.

I do have a plastic welder. Will likely try that route and glob on a bunch of epoxy on top.

Im adding some soundproofing. (Dynamat knockoff, closed cell foam' and mlv) Velcro is a great idea.

Kilmat? I'm in the process of sound deadening as well

Yup, I used sound deadening throughout the cabin on my truck. The velcro can used to attach parts, or the "fluffier" side can be used to keep panels from rubbing.

I used epoxy and snipped bits from trashed panels to rebuild the tabs.View media item 32095
