I took the top off yesterday (removal was harder than I expected) and discovered the fastener on the end where the gas shock attaches gone and the next one in place but stripped out. The other three were so securely fastened that I could not remove them.
I ran a bead of gorilla glue from the end with no fastener to almost the middle. I used a cut up pie tin to force the glue down into the gap. I clamped it, left it overnight, and I am going to reinstall it this afternoon. I am certainly not looking forward to that job. My biggest fear is stripping out the screws when I reinstall the top.
I’ll let y’all know if it holds.
