Hello guys,
did anybody deal with brocken tubs? How did you repaire them? I have fount a set of a celica that was scraped and most of the tubs are broken. I m considering to repaire them with a plastic weld kit, the one that is similar to a soldering iron. But I don't know what kind of plastic is tha headlight housing made of, and if this method is good for the celica headlights. I need you opinions and your experience if any! Thank you in advance guys This post has been edited by marinos: Oct 15, 2015 - 11:06 AM |

Thanks a lot guys for the tips.
I had seen a video on youtube that repair the headlights taps with plastic weld. In fact he used a stainless steel mesh and he heat it with a tool similar tonsoldering iron. Then when the mesh sink it to the plastic he added more plastic by a rod. From what I have realised the key to a strong weld must be the bonding plastic that makes the weld. The bad think with my situation is that all my taps are broken on the left low beam. |
