Anyone ever successfully rebond or repair the plastic studs on the console door connecting the 2 halves?

Or lost cause?

Yes. It can be done. I had the tabs between the two parts missing. I used wood shims and a high strength epoxy to put the two parts back together. It is still good after 10 years.

Thanks Leo, but I saw the repro before and the grain is a bit shallower and the color would not match my old faded console.

However, If I cannot repair my old door, I will have to go with Tony's

Thanks

I agree epoxy will work I repaired mine and it is strong. I think someone pushed the latch button too hard or tried to force it when it was locked. I put a generous amount of epoxy around the broken plastic tabs now it's good as new.

I hate the dyes and even more so in a real driver since they scratch easier than the OE material.
