Oops, knocked the alarm sensor of my E46 330
Discussion
Driving back home today I noticed the alarm sensor box has fallen off the roof lining and was swinging around on its cable.
Something must've given it a knock as all the plastic pins have snapped off the mounting plate.
I'm sure the plate won't cost much but the roof lining would have to be taken down and refitted. I imagine this might be horribly expensive, especially at BMW rates.
Anyone got an idea of cost? Or know of any glue that'd do the trick?

Normally takes about 3 hours to remove and refit a headlining. Probably £300 at dealer level and £150 through Specials like myself.
Hopefully you find someone who takes pride in thier work...To many mechanics scag, mark, misfit, or just leave dirty finger prints all over the headlining or trims. I can tell you that a the dealer I was at this happened all too often.
You may well get away with using a hot glue gun and bonding it back on....Works a treat in these situations.

[/quote]Thanks, I'll have a go with a glue gun.
