Michael,
You used the right word -- it's called Goop. I use the Marine Goop
(waterproof) for lots of repairs. It's clear, thick stuff that sticks to
anything. It's probably too soft to put self-tapping screws into, but you
could consider embedding a nut in it, or perhaps a small piece of wood that
you could put a screw in.

My son owns a Mazda (it's OK though, it's not a Miata) and he's had to
remove the door panel to repair the window mechanism. Several of the
pre-molded holes where the various screws and clips attach are broken. I'm
looking for some sort of goop I can use to fill cracks and squirt into the
screw holes so that, when it hardens, I can use self-tapping screws to cut
new threads, etc. I've yet to find a product that'll stick to any kind of
plastic, but if any of you have any recommendations, I'd really appreciate
hearing from you.
Too bad his door panel isn't as easy to remove as the one on my TR3!
(Obligatory LBC content.)
Thanks, everyone!
