Default Broke a piece off plastic wheelwell liner

Where it mates with the little shield that mates with the front of the passenger side rocker panel sill piece. What should I use to glue it back together? Any ideas on glue or material?

The wheel well material is polypropylene (PP) so you'll need an adhesive compatible with that. The plastic front undercarriage is long glass fiber filled polypropylene (PP-GMT) and the side panel is a glass filled thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU-GF).

Thanks. Good info. Any idea what those plastic clips and sill piece are made of? I may have to glue the end one back on also.
Thanks, LF

Thanks, I figured it would be expensive like everything else. Is swapping out the liner a big job?

if you can use a 10mm socket and a phillips head screwdriver, you can accomplish the job in about 5 minutes once the car is on a jack stand and the wheel is off.

PS, the list price is about $200 and you should be able to get your dealer to give you the PCA discount or buy from an online dealer.
