Default Clips on fairing

How do you guys repair the clips on inside of fairing when they fall off. Pictures would be nice Sucks a bit having to buy a new piece just because the clips broke off.

Thanks in advance

A friend has one that he fixed his front fairing over 2 years ago and its still holding up fine. Just make sure you dont drop these harbor freight tools, their housings aren't the toughest! Definately not Dewault quality, but they are way cheaper too(price).

If you still have the piece that came off you could try PERMAPOXY.

Repaired quite a few fairing panels with it - sets like the OEM plastic and can be filed and cut afterwards.

I have even re-created a missing clip with the permapoxy - takes a while but it can be done.
