Does anybody know how to get the broken pieces out of the frame as the fragments won't come through the frame holes, and then get new plastic pieces inside the frame.
If anyone has done this repair, I would love to hear how it can be fixed. Thanks.
There is a fix fir that.
I'm posting from my iPad, so I don't have the file in hand, but the threds can be replaced.
If no one will do it first, I'll send you the DIY on Monday.
