Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Step 2, after it setup I used a Dremel to shape it.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Maybe someone here will find this useful. After pricing out new lights for my C4S I decided to try and fix these myself. This pic shows the damage, both sides are about the same. Step 1 was applying this JB PlasticWeld. Step 2, after it setup I used a Dremel to shape it. Step 3 was applying a coat of two part epoxy. Step 4 was a coat of Krylon black paint, done. It�s not super pretty but seems strong enough. Good luck, Pete

POST 3Original post

Great job. This is some other adhesive that I have had great success with as well. http://eclecticproducts.com/products/e6000.html

Good diy'er! Well done. Further to PORCAR's suggestion, I've also used the Goop products for various things with great success. Good stuff.

POST 9Original post

Awesome, can I send you the cover for my cup holder?

POST 10Original post

What causes the small vertical cracks in the C4S tail light lenses? These are the small cracks at the top section of tail light - both of my C4S's had them - i'm sure the Turbo suffers from these also?
