Default Should i fix my a-pillar or buy a new one?

So i got a new tach and mounted it at the bottom of my a-pillar and among all the pulling the pillar out and putting it back in my dumb *** broke the little tabs that hold the pillar up. Maybe one too many beers didn't help So my question is has anyone had the same problem and fixed it somehow or would it be cheaper to buy a new a-pillar. Any help would be appreciated!

Could always try the super glue mod. If it can be fixed with glue, why buy new?

I'd say JB weld that bad boy. It cant get any worse than BROKEN lol

The coolant temp sensor is JB welded on my car! The plastic part broke and slid off of the prongs. Stealership was closed and i was chompin' at the bit. I planned on replacing it later, but it works perfectly and is way stronger than the stock piece ever was

JB weld it or use some epoxy.. I've used a two part expoxy on a few things and that stuff can hold
