Mtech II "Leather" Center Console Repair

[TheMtechnique]

Hey all, has anyone had success with repairing the forward locating tabs on our center consoles? I had a Husco armrest mounted, and a friend leaned on it a bit too hard, shearing both forward tabs off the center console. Normally I would source a new unit from the junkyard/ebay or something, but its the factory leather wrapped piece in my Mtech II, which is NLA and would probably cost eleventy billion dollars if it was available. The tabs are plastic, and theres not too much meat there to glue. I will get creative, but hoping someone has had some success with this repair. I will take some pictures tonight when I'm home.

An epoxy formulated for that specific plastic is the best bet.

Thank you for the reply... I'll find the exquisite plastic blend BMW used here, and see what epoxy would be best..

Check at your local bodywork supply house. SEM makes a great product line that will stick anything to anything else.
