Repair to bridge spoiler

Hopefully an easy one. The side trim pieces on my bridge spoiler (let's call them the hockey sticks) have parted company from the main glass area. It seems that the little metal clips/threaded bits (the bit the nut attaches to inside the glass) have unbonded themseves from the plastic. In fact it looks like this has happened before and somebody has tried to repair it.

So will something like Sikaflex 221 or Tiger Seal do the job? And being very cheeky, if that's the case, anybody in Surrey got any they can lend me as I hardly need any at all?[;)]

Or shall I bodge it with No More Nails like a previous owner?
 
Get some "Gorilla Glue".
Thats whats its called. Its great stuff. I used it on my side bits + theyve stuck for well over 12 months...Nothing else seems to work....
Just search google for it....
 
Sikaflex will do the job - make sure you get it done quickly before they crack as replacement parts are ££££ - 2 years ago they were over £150 per side, so probably nearer £200 now.
 
Got the same problem with mine...a temporary fix with black weatherproof insulting tape has lasted, but I've done an internet search and disovered bodyshops use high tack double sided tape for trim. A look at the 3M site led me to a supplier at www.directa.co.uk but I've not got round to ordering it, so would want to research it again to make sure it's the right spec. Don't want it blowing off in the slipstream!!
