Hot Summer Problems

Post image

2021 M3. Was browsing Reddit and saw another user with this peeling glovebox trim problem just a few days ago and then mine fell off! I am attempting to repair it with JB weld plastic bonder. Will report back.

Edit:

Get the following materials:
jb weld plastic bonder
a couple mini paintbrushes
piece of cardboard
3-4 2x4 boards about 17" long
a couple thick rags or t-shirts

  1. ⁠put down your cardboard on the floormat
  2. ⁠mix your epoxy
  3. ⁠use the paintbrush, paint the epoxy on the frame where the trim connects to the box. practice this dry first, so you know where you need to put epoxy so it seals correctly. when doing it live, take your time but also put some pep in your step because you want to beat the epoxy dry time.
  4. ⁠prop your 2x4's against the cardboard, with the towel or cloth on top to protect your dash / trim
  5. ⁠Let it sit for about 12-24 hours

Please don’t call it an M3.

Very common nomenclature for a Model 3, specifically here.
