I think that there are supposed to be three plastic anchor pins for the S-Pod front cover. I know that these are out of production, yet I’m wondering if a repair can be made. Two of the three pins are broken on one cover and I’d like to know how to repair them with new friction pins. Any ideas?

 

Epoxy or plastic weld should work fine.

I looked into these and the whole thing seems like DIYs made from sheet metal, perforated vinyl, plastic sheets etc. So I'm sure however you repair it, it won't be too different than how it was originally made in the first place.

 

The outer face is actually leather, not vinyl. The frame is metal, not plastic, however the anchor pins are plastic. There is a thin foam layer between the leather and metal on the face side.

 

OK, great. Regardless....they had to have been fastened somehow. Glue the thing back on...

 

I got hold of the original maker and he told me that the pins are a common auto connector, so it should be available at most auto stores. I might have to take the leather off to get the pins in properly. Thanks for your replies.
