Rear Under Run for Lexus RX450h

[Haken8]

Hi All

I have just noticed that the rear under run for my RX450h has started to come loose from the chassis near the boot. I can see that there is some kind of adhesive exposed.

Before I address this can anyone let me know the best way to fix it.

If its just adhesive holding it up you just want some adhesive but make sure it's waterproof

Hi Rayaans

I decided to ring Lexus Milton Keynes and they said to bring it in but would have to leave it overnight for bond adhesive to harden. They are even giving me a loan car. Great service from Lexus

Hi Rayaans

Do you have a specific waterproof adhesive in mind? Upon considering it I think it would be easier/less expensive for me to do it myself.

Stixall is very good general purpose adhesive. Water resistant, sets in wet and joint is slightly flexible. I have used it to patch holes in a zinc roof. After couple of years I had to replace it as not UV resistant. It doesn't work on soles for shoes but it does for everything else I have tried. Tool station sell it for £4.82. If you don't have Toolsation try builders merchants. It is an Ever Build product. No connection except as user.

What! Lexus cars are held together with glue, mine seems to be built properly with nuts and bolts.

Thanks I will try that

I've used tiger seal to good effect on plastics, I'm not sure what your gluing it to but might be worth a look.
