I have a good fix that you can not see and works great. You need to get some sheet stock fiberglass about 0.085" thick. It is call G-11 or G-10 and is made out of epoxy and woven fiberglass. You cut it 1.000-1.125" wide and 13.0" long. Drill two 1/4" holes about 0.5" from each end. Sand and round the edges. Remove the side bolt that holds the flap on, slide the fiberglass strip up under the flap, align the holes and reinstall the bolt. Match the bottom of the strap to the flap and drill a hole through the flap. Using a cable tie, attach the flap to the fiberglass strap using the bottom hole and the matching hole in the flap. Repeat the other side. If you install it right, all you will see is the cable tie, which you never notice. Of course I ate my flap befor I put my fiberglass straps in. Have had a problem after, and have rode in all conditions.
