That works as well Roland - wish I had thought of it. I stuck mine together with cellotape for a week or two while I got and painted a new one. Bust it fitting it on so perhaps next time I will just glue it on!Ouch

They are impossible to remove without damaging the clips. Best spend £40 for a new one and get it painted for about the same. Be VERY careful when fitting a new one or it will break the clips.Ouch
