Audi A3 2004 - Rear mudguard snappage

[timb0jones]

Hello everyone - this is my first post so go easy!

We've just bought a 2004, 3DR Audi A3 and it was beautiful until I did a three point turn on a road with a pretty hefty camber and managed to rip one of the rear mudguards off...

BUT, on checking it out, it's not the mudguard that's snapped - it's the actual mounting plastic off the inside of the frame

Does anyone have any experience in fixing this? Easy job? Cheap? - I'm guessing I'll need to reattach the mount somehow but short of going out and buying Gorilla Glue, I wanted to get some tips from some folk who might've done something similar ...

Any advice, greatly appreciated

Hi, welcome, take a seat and grab a coffee.




No idea about your problem... Gorilla Glue is probably a cheap and cheerful way of doing it. Or just take the one off the other side too...

From memory these are inexpensive from Audi; been a good few years since I've ordered for that generation of A3 but I wouldn't be at all surprised if they were only £20-30.

You could glue it, and it'll probably be fine but a pain to remove should you need to do any bodywork or other repairs down the line.

Edit: Gorilla glue requires one porous surface to bond properly.
