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

Hail fellow Loopers,
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. Too bad I have to work...
Many Thanks,
Noel McCormack
