How to repair plastic screw mounts?
Hello everyone, I'm a new joiner here!
Does anyone have experience repairing a chipped plastic screw hole from a earlier v12/v8 vantage? The radio fascia of my v12v (2010) came loose so I took it apart, and found all 4 of the plastic screw holes/mounts which fasten the fascia to the radio frame were broken. (photos attached)
Aston doesn’t seems to provide the fascia panel alone. I found some used on Aston Martin bits but quite pricy so thinking of repairing but not sure what’s the best approach for a clean and durable result. Would appreciate the communitie's advice!

If there is sufficient flat mating surface I would suggest using 3m body side molding tape in SMALL quantities. Clean surfaces well first. Might not need the studs. Use too much and it might not ever come off again if you need to.

Thanks, unfortunately I could only find the particles for one of the mount.. but I agree, re-attaching the remains shouldn't go wrong as long as the glue is strong enough..

Sounds good. I'm thinking of looking for some threaded spacers because nuts with the same thread would be quite short. Thanks!

This is an interesting approach I didn't think of. I'm assuming it would be the easiest but problem is there isn't really much of a flat surfaces to apply the tape..

Thanks again everyone for the inspiration! As mentioned above, after some consideration I'm thinking of going with flattening the broken mounts and attaching threaded spacers. Will post the results once its done incase anyone is interested..
