Stripped Gloriders

[qasamm]

Ok, I just got my wife a set of gloriders for her Spyder and the cap screws stripped the threads out of the mounts. Suggestions for a durable fix?

I could probably tap some new mounts if I need to. I'm afraid it will just happen again when I change batteries.

I'd contact them first... :shocked:
Perhaps they can get you out some replacements.

:agree: I have worked with them before. Top notch customer service!

It does not hurt to ask the mfg. They are good people to work with.

Contact them. Their customer service is top notch, alright. I had an issue with one of my GloRyders going out, and refusing to relight. They sent me a replacement in no time! They should be able to work with you.

For future reference, I put a bit of thread locker on the screws and gently screwed them in. Then I put some aluminum tape over the screw.
I have one side that I do that to.

I wouldn't worry about it. The o-ring will hold the caps on without the screws .
