serge9898 Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 I needed a new cover and I could not wait for the 20 w leadtime at Hotspring. I ordered a cover at MyCoverSpa and just received it after 5 weeks. It looks great and totally identical to my current cover. Except it doesn't have the metal plates for the lifter mount!.. 😞 The Model is Hotsping Jetsetter Model J with a Cover Cradle 2 lifter. Would anyone have a suggestion to salvage this new cover? - Screw in the EPS foam with longer screws (or insert a rod) and use some kind of glue/celant? - Glue (+ screw) metal plates on the vinyl cover... - Cut the cover to add the metal plates (How the are the original plate attached? glued, screwed?) - Add a brace around the cover... Any suggestions ? (Indeed I could trash it and order an new one! But this is a question for a good creative handyman on how I could save the situation!! I know I should have ordered the metal plate and I didn't. So no need to remind me this painful part!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serge9898 Posted February 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Actually I found the solution but I still need handymen's help! There is a zipper that allowed me to remove the EPS foam insert. I salvaged the 4 metal plates from the old cover. I will glue the metal plates on the EPS insert of the new cover. Questions: What kind of glue should I use to bond EPS and metal? they also seems to use a sort of tape (G on the picture) The used a mesh fabrix to reinforce the EPS: What is it? Fiber glass mesh??

RDspaguy Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 I would get a different cover lift rather than screwing up my new cover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
