Car is 2004 Lexus ES330, one of the cup holders arms is broken and itโs annoying not having a place for water bottle, problem is the arm is articulated and moves inward as it closes, is there any solution for a wrenchlet that only wrenches basic maintenance?
>>28469077 (OP)>toyota Super glue or buy a new one
>>28469077 (OP)Have you got the missing part? Because thatโs the bit with the pivot, so you canโt just glue a chunk back on
Best bet might be to search on fleabay for a complete replacement
You replace the part

3 hairs from a hare, a bolt from the exhaust manifold, and one toad's eye in 4 oz of brake cleaner. Stir it over mild heat for 10 minutes, rub it on there, and it'll grow right back.
You either get a new part or rig something up with glue and tape.
>>28469113I donโt want to disassemble the centre console because itโs a pain to do, Iโm hoping for a way that may involve glue but not sure on execution, if it canโt close after glueing its not too much of a problem to me
>>28469077 (OP)replace the part
or this stuff works amazing if you have the broken parts, follow the instructions on the tube
>>28469152Do you have the original broken-off bits?
go to your local u-pull and get an entire new center console for $20. rip out the old one and plonk in the new one. it's nowhere near as hard as you think, as long as you're careful it'll be a perfect fix.
>>28469077 (OP)just buy one from junkyard
if you can't find it for whatever reason, just make a cad of the other one, then mirror it and get it 3d printed (SLS nylon is the best process to use - chinese 3d printing services offer it,)

>>28469077 (OP)A brand new part directly from Toyota is worth every dollar
>>28470066They stopped making parts for 20+ year old cars almost 20 years ago and aftermarkets don't do things like proprietary cup holders.
>>28469952if you buy this from toyota instead of buying a junkyard one or jb welding it you are a retard
>buy part
>replace part
What's so hard to comprehend
>>28470107JB welding is for nooblets, real pros use panel bonding glue
>>28470950Nitrogen fusion welding has its purposes.
You don't even have to leave the house for bathroom caulk and duct tape!
>>28470950That's cool.
