Brittle plastic is not fun - esp from 2008. Just by looking at it tabs break off... Bleh emoticon

caulk and done (just kidding)

got any leads on some clamp/ bracket/ ideas that don't look like dog nr. 2's?

Im thinking metal plate below with some decent screw showing on top...?

preferred method is punch two holes and stitch together with small zip ties. you'd hardly notice clear. go neon if you're looking for your 37 pieces of flair.

anyway, that's a awful place for busted tabs. no place to hide a securing clip. you could do plastic body rivets and it wouldn't look too butt.

down and dirty: double sided foam tape-- bonus is that it'll suck up the rattle that you know it's gonna have.

after looking at it, looking at it, having a nice adult drink and then looking some more...time to let it go and enjoy winter season (not) back in garage she went. Spring time if it really bothers me I will do the down and dirty...

thx for inspiration Clap emoticon
