Plastic Pointers #11 - Rebuilding a Broken Headlight Tab
In this video, we show how to repair a broken headlight tab on a Toyota Tacoma using plastic welding. Headlight tabs are often made from thermoplastics like polypropylene, which can be repaired effectively with the right technique.
We walk through the general process of rebuilding the tab, reinforcing it, and shaping it to match the original. Care is taken to maintain alignment, apply the right amount of heat and pressure, and finish the repair for a clean, functional result.
