Default How do you snap together the roll bar plastics?

I have had the plastics off the car around the roll bar since i have owned it. I am trying to figure out how the plastics snap back together. I see a wire in between the one side but cannot get them back together for the life of me.

you need to replace them. You can't put them back together once their taken apart.

I dont think they do snap back together, I thought it "looked" as if they could but werent able to. I tried to take mine off b4 until i realized you would end up breaking them.

The covers are not designed to be removed. Some have been able to glue them back together. Most end up replacing them.

I used a helluva a lot of Gorilla Glue and crazy glue, so far so good, but there is an annoying ass vibration somewhere back there....

Goodluck!

Same thing with my driver side roller bar garnish, the two plastic got separated. So I use a lot of super glue, I wouldn't use gorilla glue due to its foaming.

Super glue. Use it sparingly, dont get it on the outside or it will frost. Mine is still holding together...been about a month~
