Any ideas, how to fix this?

I have three of these broken on my dash insert. I was thinking about drilling a hole and threading (or using epoxy) a bolt, similar to an air cleaner.
Any one fixed this or have any ideas?

Someone here epoxied bolts to the back, I was reading the thread a few days ago but don't recall who it was.

There also was a thread on here a while back about somebody mixing super glue and baking soda (?) to glue the plastic back together.

Re: Any ideas, how to fix this?

I use crazy glue for the initial tack then mix up some JB weld for the long term hold. Don't know how this will work for you but this method has proved excellent in many past plastic repairs.

You should give Rapid Fix a try. It has made wonders for me on those kind of repairs. IMO A+ stuff.

Re: Any ideas, how to fix this?

I got a threaded rod from Fastenal, drilled holes, and attached the rods with two part epoxy. I used Gorilla, but I think most will do the job. I let it sit all night and the next day the rods held great.

I heard PVC glue from Home Depot works too, but I have never tried it.

Re: Any ideas, how to fix this?

I just fixed mine. I had the dash off. I ended up breaking off the remaining studs and drilling them out and using 1/2 inch long screws and flat washers from the back side.;
