Hi Daniel,

I had this on my van.  I tried a couple of times to repair using a glue
and succeeded with JB WELD type stuff. LOCTITE WELD.

I used a dremel with the sanding drum to rough up the interior of the
pipe, and the exterior of the stainless nipple. Spread the epoxy on best
you can, it takes a lot of it.  PUSH the nipple into the hole, about a
1/4 turn from where it supposed to rest, and slowly rotate as it seats

Sincerely,

Mark Keller
