I recently hit a coyote at 80mph on a road trip with my 1997 Accord. Amazingly, there was no major damage. However the impact tore out the passenger side turn-signal assembly that normally screws into the bumper. When I brought it to the mechanic he said, he wouldn't install a replacement, as the bumper is cracked right next to the fixture hole and the screw mounts are destroyed. He couldnt guarantee a new fixture would stay in. So I have decided to buy a new fixture and epoxy the top and bottom surfaces of the fixture into the hole in the bumper and hope for the best. My concern is how the vibration from driving is going to affect the plastic-to plastic bond. What would be the best epoxy to create a vibration resistant bond in this application. Would any 5-minute epoxy be sufficient?
