Anyone have any fixes for broken tabs on the side panels? Almost all of mine are broken/torn. The panels themselves are in good condition, but the tabs are not.... :ORC I bought the sled like this.. 
Replacing the panels my only option....?

Tabs? There is exactly ONE "tab" on an RX side panel, and if you break it off, don't worry about it. The hood will hold it on for you.
If you really want a tab though... drill out the original tab so its a HOLE, about 3/8", then get yourself a big headed 1/4" bolt and JB weld. Mix up a blob of JB weld and dip the end of the bolt into it (to make the tip of the bolt THICKER, like the tab). When that hardens, hold up the panel and push the bolt through the hole.

OK
Thank you for the clarification on the ONE tab on an RX, but I would consider there to be more since both ends and the top are held on the same way with spring nuts that go on a tab......
Thanks for suggestion though.
