In Reply to: Make sure whatever fix you apply is reversible. posted by Al Sekela on February 23, 2010 at 10:40:17:
Fixing stuff like this is easy. I just have to find the right material to fill the underlying hole and re insert the screws. I want a permanent, fix that leaves it as if new.
(Like i always change my own car oil, The dealer wants to much money, and the quickie places suck: "Gee lady, your drain plug is stripped.. we can helicoil it for $100." my response: you F#@(&$&@# a$$(*^& did it in the first place. They Say: Nooooo we would NEVER do that. This actually never happened to me because I already know better.)
The Moral is: you want it done right: DO IT YOUR SELF (if you can)
