hmmm maybe someone on here can help me out.

regarding my spoiler. before i got the wingtips moulded, i took off the spoiler but in this process of taking it off it resulted in one of the screws that was embedded into the spoiler to snap off because it was loose and kept turning with the nut that was used to hold the spoiler down to the body of the car.

here's a picture to help you get a clearer picture of what im trying to get across:

anyway my initial thoughts were ok use some sort of glue araldite or whatever and stick a screw in there as shown below:

post-11243-128678438415_thumb.jpg

What i realised after doing this was using a nut to the bolt to tie down the spoiler to the body of the car will highly depend on the strength of the glue. had 2 attempts at this and first attempt after 10 mins of allowing it to dry simply failed. second attempt it held for a bit but eventually gave in and the glue gave way.

what im now asking is does anyone have other ideas where i can fixate a bolt or screw into that spoiler strong enough as how it was originally made?

the only other idea to fix this is to buy a new levin zr spoiler and get wingtips remoulded but before i seriously think about that, was wondering if anyone had ideas or innovative ways to fix this problem?

thanks in advance. any input would be greatly appreciated!

As the spoiler is most likely ABS, most epoxies dont like bonding to ABS. You will need a special ABS epoxy. Perhaps contact an epoxy or adhesive specialist in your area. Other suggestion is to find a place that does plastic welding, ie bumper repair etc and see what they can do to help you out.Im sure the plastic welding option would be easiest.

Hope that helps

so a bit of the screw is still embedded in the spoiler? It would be better to drill it out then bond/weld the remaining screw in there.

Edit: with 3 other screws its easier to leave out the screw and use double sided tape.

thanks pete i'll look into that and see where that takes me.

hey chicken the old screw is gone its just an empty hole sorry i didn't make that clear. i would use double sided tape where the missing screw is but i dont think double sided tape is strong enough to hold it down.

thanks for the input though!

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 transmission issue

      Hi Toyota owners, I'm new to this forum registration. I need some advice or help as I have a shifting issue with my 2012 4 speed transmission. It doesn't do it all the time but the gears don't shift smoothly specially 3 to 4 gear it just bangs in when I'm cruising and it happens more often when hot. Got full transmission serviced with Toyota genuine parts no metal shavings in pan. Changed ATF 3 times. Full major service done, 100000 KLM on car. Full synthetic oil with 98 Ron fuel. Throttle body cleaned twice. Maf sensor cleaned. New spark plugs. No engine codes. Great loss of power sometimes specially on hot days. Please help as no mechanic knows what the issue is. Thanks in advance.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Yes mine is October 2023. It arrived late February Early March to the docks in Brisbane. I have a friend who has been told that hers will be in the next shipment but is only on the production line now. So future stock should be 2024 ! ?

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Thanks Martin. I thought that may have been the case. However, it seems an anomaly with so much tech on board. My wife always looks for this feature after an ugly incident while stopped at a traffic light some years ago. As you said ...perhaps an OTA update? One other thing if you don't mind me asking. What is the build date on your vehicle? The C-HR's that appeared at my local dealer in the last fortnight all have an October or November 23 build date. Thanks, Peter

      Transmission U660e

      Not every Estima is fitted with the 2GR-FE and U660e drivetrain. This is where you have to take care that information on the internet is applicable to your specific vehicle.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Hi I was very lucky to receive one of the first new models last month. My Koba is amazing- as have all of my previous Toyotas. However in answer to your question it does not automatically lock the doors when you engage Drive or when you reach a preset speed. I am very disappointed that with all of the electronic devices and safety features and the approximately 20% increase in price over the last model that Toyota Australia has left a very important safety feature out of the vehicle. We see cars being carjacked almost nightly on the news. My knowledge of technology in this sector is limited but surely it is only an update of the operating systems to fix this. The new model is a beautiful car- your wife should still buy one.

      is it possible to import US model Sienna to Australia?

      I rent a 2023 model in US just few days ago it’s beauty and real good on fuel much nicer to drive compare to Honda Odyssey which I own one 2022 model make me wonder why Toyota AUS won’t bring the Sienna hybrid to Australia instead we get bulky ugly looking Granvia with diesel engine 🤔🤔!!

      How to delete bluetooth device?

      I have a Yaris and had a similar issue. I just submitted a similar query to GPT. The response was to go into settings, view paired devices, select the device to remove, and confirm the removal. It helped me; I couldn't find the answer on the internet, but I found it there.
