Default Repair boot plinth fixings

As I have time on my hands I thought I would put together a few pics of how I repaired the two outer fixings on my boot plinth.


This is what I was faced with, which I suspect many have experienced!



So first off, using a Dremel I cut a slot where I was fiting a new screw.
I had to make the slot a little longer, but didn't take a picture, sorry.





The screws I used were M6 Plastic Nylon Screws Round Head.

Then cut the replacement screw, note this is one I got wrong as the cut angle should be closer to 45deg


The screw is 'glued' in place, the glue is to bond the existing tab that the slot has been cut into for the screw as well as holding the screw in place.
This is the glue I used as it was what I had in the garage:




Having mixed the glue, insert the screw into it's new position and apply the glue around the screw head.
Note that the screw thread should be approx 90deg to the tab,






you can just see the original fixing at the far end and the new one looks roughly parallel to it.



Here is the finished job,



The plinth on my car has had both outer fixings replaced in this way.
