I have a few pieces of my interior plastic molding that need to be glued due to cracking. What's the best glue? I've used JBWeld in the past with so-so results (it's color matches my grey interior ;Sweet ). I was thinking that an A&B epoxy resin might work well.

3m trim adhesive in the little black tube.... make sure you have it where you want it when it cures

you can get it at auto zone, the part number is 3601... here is a pic

i have used this stuff on emblems, interior trim... and i even broke the bezel off the front of the headlight switch in my superduty and in a last ditch effort not to give ford my first born i glued it back together with this stuff... that was about a year ago and it is still holding tight

its not real tacky when you first squirt it so i would get some masking tape to hold the trim on for a few hours untill it cures, then if your trim falls off... i don't know what to tell you cause this stuff means business

oh and clean the parts with alcohol before you stick it

Could also check for gorilla glue, check bottle first to make sure it is applicable with what you intend to use it for.

That's what I finally used. It worked great.

I have successfully used hot glue to reattach the F/R tank switch on my 1994 when it 'fell into' the dash. It also reattached a few of the clips/studs that retain the top of the dash panel. Saved me mucho $$....and time!
