Thread: Crooked Plastic

Tweet

I have a problem with this glovebox piece. It as crooked as a barrel of snakes and i was wondering if you guys had any ideas on how to fix it or do I have to live with it.

let it sit in the sun for a few hours then go set a brick or 2 on it should level it out, ive done it a few times.

I can tell you what caused it, too much heat and it was run too fast, the molding machine that is. How I would try to fix it is to build a jig out of plywood to clamp it together. Heat a small section at a time with a heat gun and clamp it in the jig and let it cool. DO NOT get it too hot as it will warp beyond usefulness.
