Default hrmm...what you think?

my car was broken into and this is one of the things they broke in ripping **** out...if i'm going to put another unit it, i need something here to hold it in. should i glue the base back in? what about the left place where a head unit usually bolts in (see 3rd pic, red circle denotes the piece missing)? any help is appreciated. help me do something...if you guys don't help i'm calling nasa and they can.

if you still have the broken off piece use some jb weld and glue it back together. My dad did that when his mustang got broken into and it worked for him. and once the main facia is put back on you wont see anything because it will conceal the whole piece. JB weld is some pretty tough ****, might be worth a shot.

clamp the broken piece somehow, or super glue it and when that dries then lob the jb weld all over the seam and when it dries (like 15 hours later lol) it will be solid as a rock. its a 2 part epoxy that does wonders
