I've had some success in the past with that type of glue - Araldite or similar. Darren

If it in a thick enough area of the card, you can fit a short countersunk woodscrew with a head of an appropriate size to fit the nylon pin.

It’s minimal in that area what is it made of it says pvc on the card but on cleaning the hole it’s very fibrous 🤔

Just did this repair a couple of months ago with Gorilla Glue two pack stuff. Failed the first time but the second time I left it clamped for ages and worked a treat. Still solid even after a test removal of door card.

Loctite/Hardman Double Bubble Epoxy works wonders and can be purchased in measured single use sachets that are pre measured

e-bay search “double bubble epoxy” Ride like you stole it!!
If I’m not on a bike it’s because only a 4x4 will do…

I personally never had good success using epoxies (Areldite is an epoxy as well) on plastics.
I think polyurethane glues are better for this application.
I use Wurth bond and seal a lot, and I bet that it is very strong in this application.
I would still roughen a bit, especially the plastic thingy, and a good wipe with thinner (not white spirit). 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing
