This has been up before and I have found threads i the old forums about it, but just to be sure: Are there any known method to reattach (glue?) the hinges on the glass doors from an Ouverture. I guess one of the difficulties is to reestablish the black coating. picture below of one of the defective ones I have

Inn my attempts i did break the black coating, but from my experiments I found Loctite Extream repair seems to hold. I can remove the doors without it breaking, but how long it will last I do not know.   I tried epoxy, but that didn't last very long in my attempts.

Thanks for the answer about the glue type :-) Was the black coating broken because of the glue or was i from the removal of the brackets?

The black coating was ripped off when the Epoxy failed. I not noticed the Extram Repair affecting it. Tho I supose its possible my glue got better adhesion without the coatin ginn the way.   My thinking was it was worth trying. worst case i break a panel that is allready scratched up and according to my Local B&O store they had spare panels in stock.

Hi Mads, I (vaguely) a topic on BW1: a guy who used to do lot of cosmetics repair (Leslie…) did polish the glass – maybe with some sort of acid) where the black square is then painted it then use epoxy glue. The result was nice. About epoxy glue not holding well: I glued the glass of a BS9000 with 2 components epoxy and it is still holding strong 3 years in vertical position and 3 years in horizontal hinges down. Moreover one hinge is lacking the spring which must put some more strain on the glue. Also glued many BS2500 glasses without issue. I would do the same if I needed again. Cheers. Edit: One more tip from the past:
