Last winter during our trip into Mexico, will arriving into Cancun, the
driverside glass dropped down into the door. Had to do a camping's hack
with a locally bought expensive (around $6us) wallyword"s cuttingboard.  So
I was very happy to see that link as this hack is always in the back of my
mind (Since I do not think the cuttingboard plastic material is top
notch).. Well .. I think I'll endure that hack.  =8-o

Here's some picts that I hack (during travel space to keep pictures was
limited and wife did frequents cleanup. So no picts of the process or
handcraft or tools-of-trade anymore)

Basically, Fold down the flaps/fingers to remove the metal center piece.
Heat up the center piece on the cooking stove. Work it into the board. Heat
again , work it into the board more, repeated as necessary.  When the
center piece sitting well and good into place and rotation of in was
smooth, I cut the board slightly bigger then needed and made into shape
testing it into it spot before re-assemble to the regulator.

Also prior of leaving, in preparation/play time, I had did a hack of 2 of
the 4 plastic "follower" that slide into the track. That was made at home
with dremel tools into a piece of snowboard UHDP that a friend gave me.  I
feel safe with that hack as the plastic is better quality then the
ncuttingboard (maybe even, if I may say,  then the original).
