Garmin 830, usb cover is AWOL

[fatbikerbill]

A few years ago the little lead that stops you loosing the cover broke. I tried contacting garmin then with no luck. Just tried contacting support again

I have now lost the little cover.

Will it be game over next time it rains and so do I need to go gps shopping!?

Bluetac is a lot cheaper

[fatbikerbill]

£25 blimey but thanks for the link.

I've tried garmin again, will see what they say

£25 is very salty for that little piece of plastic+rubber, but I suppose it’s cheaper than a water damaged unit..
Sometimes they have units/parts cheap for spare or repair on eBay..

There are cheaper ones on AliExpress-

That's the code but in anithe language. Apparently you call em on 0808 238 0000 and they send you a secret link to pay for that item number. Hope you get sorted.

I’ve found a 3D print file for one. If you can wait till I’m back in the UK later this week I’ll run off a few and post

My 830 is now permanently bricked after a thorough moistening so this ⬆ is good advice William.

Just get some Sugru and apply as you wish.

[fatbikerbill]

Cheers Dave, that would be great.

Sugru, hmm, would be OK if you didn't have to un-sugru it every few rides.

So that answers my last question Andy

Just got a nice friendly email from garmin. There will be a new one in the post.

Happy days, but dam, I was looking at a new 840 or 1040 solar
