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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My air outlet have the porsche oem carbon finish and over time they warped out of shape. I removed them to see what I could do to fix it. I doubt glue will work but that will be my last resort, anybody had success fixing those ? or idea ? I think I need to put a rivet on top to fix it for good but that would look fugly so... I am open to suggestions

POST 2Original post

Why would you think a good quality glue would not work. I fixed these same pieces on my friends car with glue and it has help for several years now.

POST 3Original post

Doug, like a good two part epoxy?

POST 4Original post

That would be my guess as I believe epoxy resin is always used to bond the carbon fibers. Saw duplicate part for sale recently at good price, either a forum or maybe E-bay.

POST 5Original post

I've seen carbon fiber bikes repaired this way, but usually that is carbon weave to carbon weave.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have bought some epoxy glue mix that I will be trying but with the florida sun and all I would be surprised it will hold, but may be I need more faith

POST 7Original post

Quotes source post: 8910532

I think it was glued on in the first place. There are definitely adhesives out there that can stand up to whatever the Florida sun pushes their way.

POST 8Original post

you will need a heat gun to help reshaping that. then use epoxy get a window heat shield to protect your dash.
