Roof bar cover snapped off. :-/






Just backed into my garage and apparently it doesn’t fit that way! Managed to snap the covers off my roof rails at the back. Anyone else had an issue like this of know of a way to get them back on? The plastic pegs have snapped off so won’t screw back th the frame. Big Cry

If you don't need to take them off all the time then try a 'hot glue' gun. it is possible to get the glue in black.

My lower half broke off and that is how I re fixed it.

I had an issue with my old set of bars.
I merely used 'blu-tack' at appropriate points and all held good.
The stuff tends to bond better over time, but still comes off when you need it to. FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

Blobbed some silicone in the screw cap part and wrapped the whole thing with a cable tie.
I’ll ha e to move the bars at some point to align the roof box. Thanks for the suggestions folks.
