The front tab on my right side cover is broken off. I'm sure this happens often. What different things do you do to hold it secure.

There's also some pictures you can search for on the tech board
that show how to glue a romex staple in place of the tab on the
side cover to fix it...

Mine were chrome so I just drilled a small hole into the overlap of the front and side cover and used a short stainless screw.

I had to redo both mine a long time ago. Took some body's advice of a big paper clip, twisted it and used plastic cement from your local farm an barn store to csment it together. Be sure to ruff up the inside of the cover.
