If all else fails you can fashion your own replacement with Sugru.

There are some parts suppliers on the forums now but you could also go the 3D printed route.

Are you talking about that little tab? If so I know I've seen it on Thingiverse but can't seem to find it now. You can purchase the whole OEM plate on eBay here for 24.99.

@Heavysledz,

Thank you! Never even crossed my mind! Being in the Solar installation business I can surely get one printed up, we have certain pieces printed up from time to time!

@Filmscum,

And thank you! I believe I may go this route but how is the installation process and dealing with the "ribbons" and such?

Been watching YouTube and I believe I shall attempt to replace.

Thank y'all!

Thunder-drones was a major major help. He sent me two videos on disassembly and reassembly, helped me figure out it was just my "L hook" **knock on wood** and sent me the piece within minutes of placing an order with him through PayPal complete with a tracking number. Super good business, super fast responses, very informative, and a genuine person. Refreshing as I've had hell on eBay with sellers multiple times. I will ONLY go to Thunder-drones for advice and parts.
