Cheers Nasher!

Both the bolts were a little corroded in place. When I loosened them the threaded inserts moved and the cover cracked at the corner. Both top bolts did the same. It's really brittle. The vertical is still nice and supple so maybe it is due to all the road grime?

I am defo taking your advice! But waiting 3 years as I have shiney new Exact belts.

Agghhhh, what a pain, I hate it when that happens with any plastic moulding.

Been there and feel your pain.
