Hi ! I am french... my english may not be perfect.

My dear mum is owning a fiat 500 from 2013.
A few days ago, I wonder why the headlights were enlighting the sky?
Well, well, after having datached the bumper and the wheel's protect part.
The fixing of the lights are unsticking the bumper...
Unfortunately this is poorly made.

What kind of glue could I use to restick the lights? and how can I restick this together?




Thanks for your answers

Bonjour.
Votre Anglais est parfait..

Is it a 'frame' of plastic..bonded to the plastic bumper ?

Member typecastboy does many such repairs on 500 parts.

He could well advise on the correct type of glue.

Thank you for your answer Charlie and thanks for the compliment.
It is indeed a frame of plastic sticked to the plastic bumper.
I have added some images to be more understandable.
Should I contact typecastboy? Or wait for him and his advices?

Merci encore

typecastboy is on here pretty regularly.

And is a great source of 500 information.

I’ve had a few do this. I use the two part glues you can buy in pound shops. As long as you can tape it and weight them down while the glue dries.

By two part glue he means Epoxy glue usually, though it might be possible to use silicone sealant provided you can hold it in place until properly set?

Wurth 2 part plastic adhesive is what we use.

Looking at the original picture, the "glue" does seem to look like a silicone/mastic type sealant rather than a hard glue, so maybe the silicone route would be better as it has more "give"?

Sikkaflx or tigerseal

Hi,
I have used epoxy/araldite glue to fix the fixings, some clamps to seal it as you can see on the pictures and let it hardening in a sauna to speed up a bit
Now everything is ok, thanks for your help.
