Thanks for the JB weld tip. I'll do just that.
Did you remove the front fender to apply the glue and clamp?
If so, was the fender easy to take out and put back on w/out removing the wheel, I hope?

Yes. It is very easy to dismount, basically 4 screws.
Jedd, it was a joke!
I have the Fenda Extenda too. I did remove the fender for Fenda installation (see what I did there?
)
It is easy to remove and reinstall. By removing it, you will be able to properly clean the inside surface so whatever adhesive you use will bond properly. Personally, I cleaned mine and then wiped it with acetone to remove any grease. I may have roughed up the inner surface some too. I did wipe the Extenda surface with acetone to deglaze it, and then scored it some to aid in adhesion. But, I tend to be a little anal sometimes. OTOH, it's been on there 3 years and is fine.
A number of us have used different stuff, like the JB above, some epoxy,etc. I used marine 3M4200 or 5200 (can't remember) and clamped it until set. Comes in black or white. I would advise against using silicone.
Done nicely, it will look just like the above pic and will last forever.

Not anal in the least. That's exactly how I did it too and used clamps while it cured overnight
The extenda on my other Honda has been on there for 12 years and hasn't moved. As stated above, preparation of both surfaces is the key.
In my above post to Jedd, the joke thing was supposed to be in about using JB on an KN oil filter nut. I must have gotten confused about what thread I was in
Sorry about that.
That 3M 5200 will never come off!! You better be sure you'll never want to take it off. Especially if you use Popguns method! :-)
Ltrypsin,
I never saw that before. Good to know!
Do NOT use 5200 to mount outboards. If you do, you might have a problem dismounting them... Been there done that at my friends shop. Don't use silicone either, won't hold a bond on fiberglass for long.
I used it on the Extenda as it is a marine product and it does get wet under the fender at times
I also made sure to seal around the inside surface nicely so that no water could get between the Extenda and the metal to prevent corrosion.
