So on to the door pull, the plastic was coming away from the foam in places, and while there isn't a permanent repair I know of, this seemed to be the best option.



I cleaned out all the old crap and lose foam and then carefully squeezed in some PU adhesive. Just as a note Wurth is the dogs stuff here, but is £££££££, but Trade, Bulldog and a few others are almost as good, the extra £££ isn't worth it as this always seems to do the trick. Don't squeeze too much or it will stop the plastic squeezing flat, but you ned enough to fill all the little gaps in the foam etc, you know what I mean.

As a note black PU would have been better but I usually keep grey as it is easier to paint over and cover, the black can bleed thru on some base coats until lots have been applied.

Now to hold it together without marking the plastic and leaving permanent clamp marks.



Big paperclips did the trick



And it stuck and held. Trim off excess.
