Found it was hanging off this morning in the school car pack after dropping my daughter off. Looks like the adhesive pad at the top has come loose and two of the three screws had worked loose. No signs of an impact though. Anyone else had this, and what kind of glue works best on the adhesive patch?

Clean the area with meths and use araldite as it has some flex to it - superglue might give you a better bond but it's brittle and could cause it to crack

Thanks Fezzasus. Rather than trying to peel off the original adhesive pad and replace it I'll use araldite on one side only. N

the spats are held on with three screws, the sticky pad was most likely added at some point to help hold it on

I've just replaced mine that were looking a bit tired with some brilliant condition second hand ones from ElizP and there were no sticky pads when I removed mine.

Thanks Vocky.
Fiddling around with the pad is a bit of a bodge but I've replaced the screws too.

Having the same issue.  Tried using tigerseal.  Didnt work, but I hadnt cleaned the area.  Then found this thread for advice.

 

Try again after meths cleaning, or go for a different bonding substance, i.e araldite as suggested here?  Just wondering if the tigerseal should work, or I need to make a trip to the shops.

I used tiger glue in combination with the screws. No issues. 👍
