[s-cars] Rear Hatch woes '95 S6 avant

[Jim Fleischer]

Hey all,

Very quiet summer on the list, I assume less traffic = less issues with cars needing advice?  I hope so!

So, I’ve got a rear hatch on my avant that needs some rehab, again.  A couple of years ago I used some plastic welding to fix some cracks and attach some bits, and unfortunately while taking off the cover to fix a latch issue, some of it broke again.  I’m looking for a suggestion on an adhesive to repair these pieces, as the plastic weld stuff won’t work again.

I’ve temporarily fixed the latch, but it looks like there’s a broken piece in there that may give me issues.  I also need a vacuum solenoid for the lock mechanism, or a suggestion on repairing the leaking boot.  I could also use a rear wiper spray unit, as mine broke off and now shoots straight back at the car behind me….

Anyone have or know of an avant being parted out?  I believe the 100CS avant and the A6/S6 avant all had the same rear hatch (please correct me if I’m wrong on that.)

Thanks all, hope everyone enjoyed the summer!

Best regards,

Jim Fleischer
