RE: [motm] Veeblefetzer bezel question

2007-01-27 by John Loffink

It looks like it is meant to form a "pressure fit" inside the cutout, but
the tabs really extend outside the area of the square cutout.  A poor
design, IMHO (bezel, not Veeblefetzer).  I think I'll just cut the tabs and
secure the rear locking posts with a bit of silicon sealer.
