I was replacing the retainer/adjustment springs on my headlights when the flap bracket snapped :(. http://img171.imageshack.us/my.php?image=0430081452ij8.jpg">  So here's the question: can I get by with an adhesive, or should I suck it up and replace it? Either way I'll be trying to fit a bolt through that hole to further secure it. |

Probably should replace it. I don't have any red headlight doors, but Watts might. AKA Dr. Fiero. Adhesive won't really work, as there is tremendous pressure created at highway speeds that can actually open the headlight doors just from the air forcing up on them. ------------- Capt Fiero 88 Fiero GT 5spd V6 Eight Fifty Seven GT V8 5spd. |

Not sure if the color would match (heck, might only have a silver one or something!), but I'm sure I've got one around here. |
