[QUOTE="Yardsale , post: 974286, member: 58988"] I just snap the cover back on. If it keeps falling off, maybe try Gorilla tape or a strap of sheet metal running under to both sides where the rubber plugs are and replace the runner plugs with carriage or elevator bolts (see link). That strip of metal extends from the lock cylinder to rotate the cable spool which pulls the cable and releases the latches. It moves, in many directions, because there is only a poorly designed spring clip holding it in place. Try bending the clip or inserting shims on both sides. [/QUOTE]
