My car's lights/glasses compartment fell down (the clips snapped.) I was thinking about using super glue to connect (fabirc and plastic) but I'm afraid the heat will melt the glue and make it not work, any ideas?

I had success with plastic to fabric bond in my previous car, it held for for years with no problems. Just apply pressure for a while to make sure bond is good, Im in Texas and heat wasnt a problem. I used it for my lights compartment to attach back to my headliner. Just my experience

Red loctite and possibly a new bolt. That's not from bass, it's a common problem on Explorers and Mountaineers both second and third gens. The last two trucks I had, I just drilled and tapped them and ran a longer bolt through with an acorn nut on the outside painted black. I've done this repair on 6 trucks so far and none of them have had an issue since.

Thank for the idea I will do the same.

Yeah like previously stated before it's a common issue with explorers.
