adherers

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'makers of bond' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'trailer present q's successors' is the wordplay.
'trailer' becomes 'ad' (short for advert).
'present' becomes 'here' (both can mean in attendance).
'q's successors' becomes 'rs' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'ad'+'here'+'rs'='ADHERERS'

Can you help me to learn more?
