The easiest way to do this is to get some "Gorilla hair" or similar
fiberglass filler with firesglass stirngs in it, mix up a little bit and
carefully glue the hook back in, if you are carefull you can do it from the
back without messing up the paint. Put on enough and overlap it well and it
will work nicely, the strands give it the needed strength. Also if your hooks
are lost, usa a 16 comman nail and bend it to fit and cut off the head, it
will be the perfect size. Of course you need to rig a prop of some sort to
hold it while it dries.
| <P>Sadly, both of the mounting hooks on the bottom of my left side cover have snapped off. What is the best way to fix this? Is there a way to do this with out ruining the paintjob? I'll braise if I must, but I'm looking to share your experiences. By the way, the riding weather in Washington, DC is primo.
