Loose tail fairings and broken clips

[Eden]

I noticed my tail side fairings with indicators were loose, on closer look, the metal clips were cracked and broken off completely and now I'm stuck wondering how to secure them again, any tips or clever fixes out there?

For a quick and dirty fix, a rider I know had luck with a strong, flexible epoxy.
But if there's enough material left, another option is to drill tiny pilot holes and use small self-tapping screws with washers.
Just be very careful not to over-tighten and crack the plastic further.

I might try the epoxy first since the plastic's pretty thin, if that fails, I'll give the screws a go...just gotta be real gentle like you said

I know a quicker fix, which is some heavy duty doublesided tape (like automotive grade), it might hold them for a bit, but not a permanent solution ofc!
for something permanent, OP is looking at replacing the fairings or getting creative with custom brackets. Have you checked forums to see if anyone's found a 3D printable replacement clip design?

Hey, sorry for jumping in a bit late! If replacements aren't really an option for you, have you thought about using a plastic welder? Alternatively, you could back up the area with a metal tab that's shaped just right and bonded in place. It'll also give you some extra strength without putting too much stress on the fairing
