[Shotimes] Moonroof Problems

[Leigh Smith]

Seems like ABS plastic.
Since the switch is so small, and can get hit with quite a lot of pressure,
I increased the area that the epoxy had to grab onto the plastic with by
adding a 3-4 inch long piece of reinforcement. Now it has 4 inches of epoxy
vs 1/2 inch. Hi-tech popsicle stick IIRC. Roughen the surface too. Remove
old glue (dremel).
