V90 CC tailgate mount failure

Hi, I've had, from what I can find online, a fairly rare failure of the mounting point of the nearside electric tailgate strut on my 2019 V90 CC.

Volvo customer services have been useless - this failure occured 5 months out of warranty with 32k on the clock. I didn't think my request for Volvo UK to get involved in helping to rectify was out of line. They said, "not a manufacturing defect, take it up with Motor Ombudsman if you're not satisfied".

It appears the tailgate inner is a single piece of fibreglass and replacing it would involve removal of various electrics. Or removal of the entire tailgate. Neither option is ideal when I'd be working outdoors in Scotland in winter.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to a fix that may work? Epoxy resin to fix the mounting bolt?

Cheers.
