Just a heads up to fellow Trophites. Washing the bike yesterday I found that two of the four plastic bolts which hold the front mudguard extender in place had sheared.

My front mudguard extender was supplied with plastic
rivets
. Is yours actually attached with bolts (ie. threaded fasteners) or am I just splitting hairs here? If some non-standard fastener was used, that may account for their failure.

You are right they were plastic rivets. My mechanical skills are somewhat less than an Inuits understanding of camel riding!

I intended no affront to your mechanical aptitude, Trom100; just wanted to clarify if this is a problem to be watched. Hopefully, it's a one time failure.

Those plastic rivets are not the most trustworthy fasteners, especially in that type of application. I put more faith in 3M two sided molding tape. This stuff has tenacious holding power.

Another great idea, wish I'd thought of that when I installed mine last week!

That is what I did with my rear fender extender. I did not drill any additional holes. I utilized the top two existing holes, hidden by the license plate, and used tape at the bottom. Still holding.
In fact I am going to try the tape for my Top Box project referenced elsewhere.
