I took off the upper snap strap including the mounted pcs. I took an old credit card and screwed thru it into the same two holes. Worked well for a long time. CC failed so I need to come up with something a bit stronger and also use flat head screws instead of the tapered head screws that pulled thru the plastic.
I am going to come up with a method to keep the bottom bolt in place also as it just pops up when traveling.
At home base now so it's time to do lots of things as I am now "my own warranty station" !
