capcrunk Posted July 10, 2012 Report Posted July 10, 2012 anyhelp would be appreciated i notice that some holes are bigger and one or two are broken how can i fix it permanently ? Quote
94 olds vert Posted July 10, 2012 Report Posted July 10, 2012 I would suggest putting bondo or other similar type of putty into the screw holes and then screw the roll bar cover on. Quote
l2bengtrek Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 Agreed...Almost all of the screw holes in mine were stripped out...so I filled each hole with JB WELD and once dry, screwed new screws down. Worked perfect. Still strong since '97. You could probably use any kind of sealer that dries hard to fill the holes. Quote
1994RedVert Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 Did not know you could use JB weld to fix holes for screws and that it would hold. I would have probably re-tapped them and went with a little bigger screw. Quote

JB Weld is actually a damn strong 2 part epoxy..after I filled the holes and it dried, it was like drilling into new plastic..one of the first things I fixed when I bought the car... Quote
1994RedVert Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 Sweet! I am going to have to check mine out. I see this is a common problem with the Cutty Vert. Quote
