Could you not go up one screw size or try a standard screw thats bigger or even go to a course thread screw. Just suggestions if your stuck for parts.
I know when I'm using machine screws into plastic, I actually use a tap on a new hole. Then when I take a screw out and get ready to put it back in, I'll turn the opposite direction from tightening so the screw kind of jumps the thread, then its starting in the same spot every time, lined up with the threads. This method really saves on the wear and tear of plastic threads. If its a case of over tightening, well then, I got nothing.

I also saw a video where a guy put a elastic band over the bad screw hole and then put the wrench tip in and it was enough to get the screw out. I haven't tried this myself, but on my next wrecked screw i'm going to try it.

What the hell man, I was about to buy the V2 on Tower for $159.99. I HATE when manufacturers forbid the usevof discount coupons..... So it's in my cart, logged in, I click on PayPal and it transfers me to the PayPal site. All is normal. Once logged into paypal and everything is good to go, it transfers me back to Tower. All normal. Except now that price is $199.99. Seriously? In the time it took for Tower to process PayPal the price went up $40? HMMPPF I guess no DETC410V2 for me right now. It's the principle.
Oh and BTW, I wouldn't be so quick to say this car is discontinued. The reality is we know nothing. Oh and hi.
Never been on an on road forum before. I'm suddenly cleaner just being here.

I was considering getting one too, but not at the new price.

Yeah I know, even at $199 it's a steal. Little metal and carbon fiber work of art. I just felt that if it's in your shopping cart and you're in the process of checking out, prices should be honored. That's like negotiating a price on a new Ram 2500. You agree on 5
$52,000. Then when you get to the finance officer, he hands you a contract that has $65,000 on it. Then he says that the $52k was only valid when i was talking to the salesman.
