Roller sun shade repair

Post by 635sharknose »

My roller sun shade looks like new but both plastic hooks are broken.
Has anybody managed to successfully repair these plastic hooks?

The complete unit is part 51461939054, which is obsolete.

In the meantime I managed to fix it.
I used 2 simple 8mm spring washers.
The thicker piece of the washer, there where is it cut open, firmly clamps and secures in groove of the original plastic end plug.
I used black washers, which according to me, looks pretty good.
