only 2 part epoxy i know of is j.b. weld and im somewhat hesitant to use it because the assembly would never come apart after that.

just took the motor out and i lucked out. mine has 3 screws holding it together (late 2000+). that seems to me better then trying to epoxy it together. also when i was trying to get the motor out (im doing to driver side) i took 1 screw out of the left side of the headlamp and loosend the right 2. it allowed me to swing the headlamp out enough to easily take the motor out. once i opened the case i found the rubber piece to be in a million pieces. i can only assume this is a dealer item.
