We filled the space with 2 part epoxy then drilled a hole and added a threaded insert.

I can't count the number of times I could have used this stuff. Thanks for the link JD. You know, you could actually start a small plastic repair buisness on the side with this stuff.
I'm ordering a master tech kit right after Christmas. I've got a grill tab to repair, and a bunch of other stuff too.

Anyone know what type of plastic the original surrounds were made of. After looking into this a bit it appears that there are repair products that target specific types of plastic. I think the surrounds were made from ABS, but I'm not sure.
