I had some plastic bumps in my seat belt, that I never noticed much, anyway one broke the other day revealing a tiny circuit board and I found the part that broke off. Before I lash out for a new seat belt I want to have a go at glueing it back, but which glue will suit?

How about a superglue?

Didn't think you could use superglue with plastic?

Not a problem as far as I know. Try a drop on the plastic where it will not be seen and see if it dissolves the plastic, probably depends on the plastic used. The health and safety leaflet on the suppliers website should tell you

Thanks but the area it will be used on is very small 6-7mm in diameter which also incorporates a circuit board!

Are you talking about the small “button” in the belt material that stops the buckle from sliding down out of the way when not in use?

It’s the only thing I can think of that fits your description of a 6/7mm bump, but if so, I’m curious about what the circuit board could be (presumably it doesn’t have a battery…)

P.S. Replacement buttons are available for a few £ if your glue doesn’t work, but not with electronics in them…

Yes, there are about three of them on the belt and was surprised to see a circuit board in there!
