what glue to use

buckrogers

can someone advise what glue to use, i have wheel spoke clips on my alloy wheels and one of them seems to be a little loose, they are attached by glue, but i don't know whats the best to use. On the Vauxhall web site, it says they are glued on, and charging £53 for the glue, is there another sort i can get/use? thanks

Do you have a link?

I use Gorilla glue for most things now, including metal to metal. Works well in my experience and a lot cheaper than £53 for some

If you have a glue gun hot melt.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Pic?

What material are you trying to attach to the alloy? There's a myriad of adhesives that'll do most jobs, and sticking <something> to alloy is not an unusual one. I presume you're actually trying to stick <something> to paint or lacquer?

I would guess super glue would do the trick.

Oh, yes. I'd forgotten about Opel's "structure" wheels - an alloy "steel wheel", with a plastic trim.

In that case have a look on ebay, I think the part no is 93165025

Superglue, epoxy, etc won't be ideal for these because they're subject to a lot of vibration and a hard glue is liable to crack. Any of the silicone adhesives out there should do fine though.
