I have two plain vanilla covers that I bought in 2003 and just found three broken brackets on the rear cover. Didn't check the front. Don't know how long they have been broken. Called Maxxair (316 832 4357, prompts 1 and 7) and they are sending out two sets of brackets at no charge today. The Tech did not know if the brackets had been redesigned because they just bought Maxxair two years ago.
I will try to support them as described above to avoid the `fatigue failure'.
Surely can't complain about the service in this situation.
Later checked the front which were OK.
Installed the new brackets and found that the slot in the bracket doesn't seem to extend far enough for the bolts to sit completely upright, ie not as far as the old ones, but I used them anyway. Also, the new brackets have one mounting screw hole instead of two.
