Roll hoop cover re installation
My roll hoop cover has become seperated. I noticed some glue like substance between the two pieces.
My questions are-
Did Honda glue the two pieces together originally?
If it is glue or a two-part epoxy, does Honda sell the glue?
What is a good substitute for the glue?
Were there any clips used that may be broken on mine?
I tried to re-glue the pieces together with less than stellar results.
Thanks in advance for the help.

They are heat welded together. In the side with the groove there is a wire running around it. You need to pull this wire out and clean up the groove and also the tongue on the other piece.
I spent a while cleaning mine up then glued it with Araldite (two part epoxy). I held it together with gaffer tape pulled tight so it applied pressure.
It's been back on the car for about 2 weeks now and is fine.
