Hey guys,

I just wanted to confirm, are a lot of the interior plastics actually polypropylene? I thought they were ABS and bought ABS epoxy (broke a tab off my tweeter cover) and that didn't bond whatsoever. Silly low surface energy plastics...

I think JBWeld Plastic Weld works for PP - has anyone ever used an epoxy that worked?

I used Permatex Plastic Weld to fix the lower left corner of the top center console piece where it had cracked all the way through.

I used Permatex PermaPoxy and it did not bond at all after a 24h cure. Currently attempting with Loctite Plastic epoxy (though I noticed after applying that it shouldn't work on PP).
