Often there are situations on the road that the appearance of the car suffers. For example, if a stone hits the headlight, it can easily crack. And cracks, in turn, can lead to very unpleasant consequences. After all, water will flow there during rains, dust will get. All this, of course, will have a very negative effect on the work of this subject. And to prevent this, you can try to glue the headlight.
Necessary
- glue;
- sealant;
- soldering iron;
- special adhesive fabric;
- acetone
Instructions
Step 1
You can choose dry glue for gluing the headlight, for example. No matter how paradoxical it sounds, but, according to experienced car enthusiasts and car service masters, it glues excellently. Prepare the glue before starting work. In order for it to take the required state, it must be heated at a temperature of 120-210 degrees so that it melts. After that, you can glue. Work the edges of the crack and heat it up. This glue only works on warm surfaces. Lubricate the surface and bond lightly. Then let it dry and remove excess glue. The headlight will be like new.
Step 2
Experts recommend that damage on the headlight be strengthened before gluing. To do this, take wire or fiberglass, as well as epoxy glue. Seal the crack with these materials and fill with epoxy. Then the crack will not diverge further and new chips will not appear.
Step 3
You can also glue the headlamp with the help of special sealants. You can pick up for this "native", that is, the one that is used at the manufacturer of this car brand. But you can pick up an analog. And then follow the instructions that are written on the bank. The main rule is that you need to do everything according to these tips, otherwise the result is not guaranteed.
Step 4
Alternatively, you can glue it the old fashioned way. This requires an ordinary soldering iron. The headlights are glued while the damaged elements are heated. This happens because the headlight is plastic, and the plastic melts and sticks well between its own parts.
Step 5
There is also such a means for gluing damaged plastic surfaces as special plastic tablets. In order to repair the damaged plastic, you need to heat this tablet, and then carefully smear it over the damage. Then sand the surface to remove unnecessary protrusions and that's it - the headlight is ready.
Step 6
There is also such an adhesive material as special fabric. It is simply laid in the place of gluing and filled with acetone. He dissolves it, turning it into an adhesive. Another huge plus of this method is fast solidification. Such an adhesive mass hardens in an hour and a half.
Step 7
You can also glue the headlight with ordinary tape. Only do this on a clean, dry surface. And of course, choose only the highest quality scotch tape. Then you can ride with such a crack for at least another three years.
