HI all im in the process of fixing my door trims ive just brought 3M Fibreglass Repair Kit from supercheap & epoxy glue ...

Does anyone have any tips on fixing the window trim? Mine has completely snapped off into 2 pieces i removed my door due to the crappy guys at solar tint not lining my door correctly & adding to its breakage they also broke the clips along the door trim & refuse to fix it im SO $%^& & didn’t notice till I got home they were the rudest out im also retirming them …

Ive also brought a few new clips for the door trim too ...any tips would be appreciated or door clip sizes I hope I picked up the right size I tried matching them to the broken ones and you know how crappy the guys are at supercheap in knowledge and advice (ALso i have read the door trim repair link floating around but it does not cover one that is completely snapped off) THANKS

1. Return what you bought.
2. Use ABS glue, not epoxy... available at Supercheap for $20 (probably need two tubes). It comes in a two part tube, look for the black and purple packaging.
3. Go to Bunnings and buy a small piece of aluminium flyscreen and some coarse sandpaper. Rough up the plastic, pour the glue onto a tray, stir/mix the glue and then apply to the crack. Cut a piece of flyscreen and press it into the glue making sure the glue passes into the mesh. Wait for the glue to set and apply another coat to encase the flyscreen.

Flyscreen acts like the steel in a concrete slab. Concrete is great in compression, but poor in tension. Steel is great in tension. Think about the crack... how often is it going to be under compression? Never. All the load it is going to experience (when you pull on the door handle or lean against the trim) is going to put it under tension. That's why roughing the surface and reinforcing the glue is so important.

Same as *fibre* glass. The glass portion requires the fibre to give it the strength characteristics.
