Hi Everyone has anyone had a problem with the lugs on the side panels breaking off and
how did you rectify the problem.
Would appreciate any help in this matter.

Hi David, Many thanks for your reply, will have a go at the repair now.

I'm finding that using a long handled screwdriver to ease the Velcro pads apart as the panel is moved gently out and up disengages them well enough. I have to admit though that I've reduced the area of Velcro available to engage by putting a strip of insulating tape across one side - they come apart much easier when you need to take the panel off.

I think the velcro was a BMW upgrade/solution to the tabs breaking.
