What is the best glue to use on Hebo plastics? Specifically, I broke off the rear portion of the seat - where the fender attaches - and am wondering if I can glue it back together with any hope of it having strength.

I suppose this occurred from taking out the fender bolt that goes through the seat, but not the plastic rivets. I had heard something about a "break-away rear fender" - well, I broke it away!!

Thanks,

Jeff

from taking the bolt out you have saved yourself a rear fender, the metal bolt defeats the object of it "breaking away" and makes it just break, you should only need to get some more of those plastic rivets, fint them, and then use a plastic bolt in replacement for the metal one, this adds strength, but the bolt snaps before the mudguard.

jj,

Thanks for the response. The back portion of the seat actually snapped off, so that the black colored section with the holes & grommets that the fender "posts" go through is still with the fender - not the seat! It looks to me that for the fender to really break away from the seat, you are supposed to remove the two plastic rivets that go through the fender, as well as the bolt. Is this true? - or do the rivets usually break or pull through the fender?

Good suggestion on the plastic bolt!

I have good luck with safety wire "stiches" and a glue called "Goop" that stays a bit flexible.
