open up the whole seam, the glue has failed and pulls apart easily:

remove the end clips with the two screws:

clean out all the white flaky crap inside the seam:

open up the ends and align the rod with the screw holes and guide pin facing the holes in the cover:

reinstall the two screws to keep the rod aligned:

I had a bunch of leftover speaker adhesive from when I reconed my Altec Lansing 310 speakers, basically a tough rubber cement. ni[X]it used black RTV... I get that shit everywhere (hands, face and hair), so I used this instead:

haven't seen a clothespin in 20 years, so I went upstairs to Mrs. VorpalZed's quilting studio and robbed every clip I could find. Big black binder clips are the best for this:

ran a thickish bead of adhesive on the bottom part, let stand for a minute until tacky:

all clipped up. let dry overnight:

Any rubber cement stuff squeezed out picks off fairly easily:

end clips screwed back on, cleaned up... donesies:
