    Since the day I bought my car the fuse panel cover falls off every time I hit a bump. Clearly the little velcro type clasps do not work well. Mine dont even line up correctly. Additionally, the blinker relay and the fuel pump relay stick out to the point where they hit the cover. (NOT GOOD). I have seen that the Euro 308s have two screws with little plastic knobs that hold on the panel. It appears to be a much better set up. Have any of you (1) encountered the same problem with the clasps in working; (2) found creative ways to fix it; (3) tried to convert it to a Euro set up? Thanks.

    Mine is a Euro, and it does not have screws. I'd like to see pictures if anyone has them. It has only fallen off a couple of times.

    Mine slot into a channel on the right side, and have a ball/stud fastener or a Dzus 1/4 turn on the left.....

    They don't fall off, unless you miss the slot on the right when installing it....

    Look at the cover used on the late 84's and 85's they used a great snap latch. Mine never falls off

    Got a picture? I have a late 84 and it has the usual plastic nibs on the panel and plastic nibs on the car. Kinda a plastic version of velcro.

    Mine is an '84 euro as well and only has the hard plastic velcro-like tabs. But...I can't say mine has ever fallen off unless I've hit a bump really hard.
