How I fixed my broken tail light mounting tabs
Maybe someone here will find this useful.
After pricing out new lights for my C4S I decided to try and fix these myself.
This pic shows the damage, both sides are about the same.
Step 1 was applying this JB PlasticWeld.
Step 2, after it setup I used a Dremel to shape it.
Step 3 was applying a coat of two part epoxy.
Step 4 was a coat of Krylon black paint, done.
It’s not super pretty but seems strong enough.
Good luck, Pete

Great job. This is some other adhesive that I have had great success with as well.http://eclecticproducts.com/products/e6000.html

What causes the small vertical cracks in the C4S tail light lenses?
These are the small cracks at the top section of tail light - both of my C4S's had them - i'm sure the Turbo suffers from these also?
