I think it is either ABS or PVC.  Have you considered epoxy?  With epoxy you wouldn't have to worry about gluing another piece onto the post to create the mushroom head.

Mopar Fans,

I am slowly getting back to take the final steps in removing the dash to the 65 Coronet. Still have to address a few issues when I begin reassembling the instrument panel.

The instrument section of panel, Plastic, was attached by the factory by forming a mushroom head. Some of mine popped off when I was heating them to reform in a post shape for removal.

My problem is identifying the type of plastic as you can not use a different  plastic to weld with?

I also was going to consider using a glue that is activated with a light. However, the one as advertised on tv was used by a friend and he stated they do not do a good job at all.

Looking for advise so when reassembly as I want to avoid last minute solutions.

Thank You

Jim
