<DIV></DIV>>Noel,
<DIV></DIV>>I have not had this happen to me (yet), but if(when) it does I think I would
<DIV></DIV>>try JB Weld. I have not had very successful results with the stuff but what
<DIV></DIV>>the hell, worth a shot if it would save your paint. Plus you could hide most
<DIV></DIV>>of the ugly stuff on the inside.

<DIV></DIV>> Hail fellow Loopers,
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> Sadly, both of the mounting hooks on the bottom of my left side cover have
<DIV></DIV>>snapped off. What is the best way to fix this? Is there a way to do this
<DIV></DIV>>with out ruining the paintjob? I'll braise if I must, but I'm looking to
<DIV></DIV>>share your experiences. By the way, the riding weather in Washington, DC is
<DIV></DIV>>primo. Too bad I have to work...
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> Many Thanks,
<DIV></DIV>>
