Having Trouble with my Cloupor T8 Mod

[mcollins2010]

So I just got the Cloupor T8 mod for Christmas. This thing is awesome. However, since the backing is magnetic, my magnets have already come off of the battery back plate. It is as if the magnetic force was so strong, the magnets come out of the holes off of the plate and stick to the magnets that are inside the box itself. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions? Thanks.

Glue??????

Yea tried. I halfway fixed it, but the top two magnets keep sticking to each other. The top magnet keeps coming out of the top hole in the battery base of the mod. I have pretty much given up. It isn't quite flush like it is supposed to be, but it is better than it was before.

I had the same problem...Super Glue....don't put the cover back on for 15 minutes to let it dry completely...I'm going on just over a week and still fixed

Do you suggest putting the glue on the magnet or in the hole directly?

I put it in the holes...I used a Super Glue Gel....

For metal to metal I had great success with epoxy designed for metal to metal. What ever glue you choose, you might want to take a dremel and put some scratches in the mating surfaces, especially on the sides, for a much stronger bond.

Edit: and obviously, make sure you clean the mating surfaces with a solvent such as alcohol before applying the glue.

Ah thanks. Yea I tried reapplying super glue to the top set of magnets and it didn't work again. I may try the epoxy glue then and apply it directly into the hole itself. The bottom two seem to still be holding, now it is just the top two. The door magnet stays on, but the magnet that is supposed to stay in the top hole keeps coming right out. Sucks too, because now the battery door isn't quite flush with the mod, but at least I could get it to stay closed. Learned my lesson with not getting magnetic back doors for mods any more. I would much rather use screws.
