glue recommendation for reflector on R-35 rigid saddlebags

[ViperWolf]

Lost one of the side reflectors off of Can-Am (Givi) OEM R-35 Saddlebags. Ordered replacements and thought I would disregard the 2 sided self-adhesive pads they came with since that's what fell off in the first place. I tried Gorilla Glue, but it foamed up, dried tan and I was able to easily peel the reflector right off the saddlebag with almost zero effort. This is a plastic to plastic application. Does anyone have an adhesive recommendation? Thanks in advance.

I would go to Lowe's or Home Depot and buy the smallest can of black ABS plastic pipe glue I could find back in the plumbing dept. Your saddle bag is ABS plastic so I would start with that.

3M

3M makes double-sided tape that's used to put car-trim back on a car after it falls off. Tough stuff.

I also once used JB Weld to put the bumper back on my car - 2-part epoxy - and I roughed up the plastic to get a good physical connection.

I'd go with the 3M - you can get it at the auto-supply store.

Agree same here but clean both surfaces with alcohol first, let air dry & apply good steady pressure for 1min. & everything should stick fine.



I wasn't there but I still care! POW /MIA VETS

GOOP. I have mounted rifle front sights with it and it really stuck them on.
