esaj Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Why can't they just through-bolt these, the plastic threads will strip away eventually anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, in the case of an accident the weakest point is probably the screws and they'll tear out, preventing further damage to the case or the handle maybe? Of course, once those holes are stripped out it would be hard to re-attach the handle. Backing up the attachment using double-sticky foam tape would help a lot, if you never plan on removing the handle. The foam tape alone could probably keep it attached! I think you've possibly gotten confused as to which thread you are responding on? This isn't the trolley handle this is the problem with the screw heads snapping off the side panels screws for the ACM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problem is the same: According to requirements define the right connection. The trolley bar may be need some kind of plastic clips used in automotive business to hold a bumper. This must be disconnected at higher forces to not destroy the shell. http://de.aliexpress.com/item/front-fender-skirt-push-type-retainer-clip-for-prelude-90683-SA5-003/1930470792.html?spm=2114.47010308.4.2.uAwqs4 The side covers/ panels need an other fixation if there's a need to open it for more than 1 time. There need to be some kind of anchor to srew in the fixation for the panel/ side covers. The EUCs will see a reinvention over the next two years.
