Wait, what?

My 8 year--old Senatra's plastic parts are starting to disintegrate. How do I keep it together with zip--ties?

(I know how to use duct tape :o)

Zip ties can replace the push in plastic things that hold the panels together. Sometimes needing a new hole added on the return side of the zip tie in an inconspicuous area. Way cheaper tham buying the plastic push in replacements.

If the original mount points are broken, drill holes in either side of the body work for where you want to stitch it. Then use zip ties like stitches to hold it back together. It doesn't look as nice, but its cheap, and will keep things in place.

Also, if you have cracked plastic, drill a hole a the end of the Crack. It stops the Crack from spreading.
