    Recently had the outer shielding of my wing mirror cracked. Its got a curved outer plastic shielding similar to this. http://cdn0.autopartsnetwork.com/images/catalog/brand/dorman/640/955-020-001.jpg

    I've got my NCT on thursday so I'm just hoping to glue it back, securely. In that image (the dip on the casing) between the mirror and the bit that attaches to the car, they've basically separated from one another. They ordinarily should just clip back into each other but its cracked so won't.

    Its a 02 focus so Im looking for some type of plastic on plastic glue? Any one any glue Ideas? I've probably explained this horribly, sorry about that.

    I would get a bit of ardlite and use a clamp to give it time to bond. It would be a good idea to abrase the surface with some coarse sandpaper it will give a better bond, and make sure the surface is clean too.

    Yep, an epoxy glue or a glue gun would do the job
