Hello List, Today I decided to fix my broken fascia bolt problem. Rather than cutting out the old stud plate and glueing in a new one I decided to do the following. I went to the hardware to get bolts like some of you reccomended. I thought I would have to remove the plate because the bolt head would take up too much space glued on top of it. While I was at the hardware I found nice stainless steel countersunk Phillips head bolts. I first cut the the 7 studs along the bottom down, and grinded them them down flush to the surface of the metal plate. They had the countersunk head so I did not have to grind the plate off and glue them to the plastic. I bought expoxy and set the countersunk bolts right onto the existing plate with "locktite" auto epoxy. withing 5 minutes the bolts were set and would not move. The whole process took 25 minutes and less than $9.00 for the materials(cutting wheel,epoxy,SS bolts and nuts) just wanted to let you know how it went. Rather than cut the whole plate out and glue to the actual fascia I would just glue it to the steel with a countersunk phillips head bolt. David dmc#2496
