My AFT tent has become detached at 4 of it's fixing points to the roof. These are at the back end of the tent. What is the best way to reattach it as they don't hold when simply pushed back in?
Would Araldite provide a suitable bond without damaging the AFT plastic/fibreglass or whatever it is made of
Any thoughts and ideas gratefully appreciated.

AFT Tent question
Why?...........Because somebody might wave back.
Re: AFT Tent question
Mine do this from time to time if you try to put them back in while the roof is fully open the tent is to taught, but if you lower the roof slightly you may find that they will pop back into place easier.
Re: AFT Tent question
get a P3 scredriver and a pair of pliers, grip the insert (bit thats come out) and unscrew it, use some epoxy glue like araldite and stuff it back in the hole it came out of, might need some gentle taps to get it re-seat ,but once its back in it wont come out again

Re: AFT Tent question
Thanks for the quick advice guys
Julian, I guessed that they would need something to hold them in, just didn't want to melt the roof with some noxious chemical without good advice first, so thank you for that.
That will be me kept busy tomorrow then.
