Hello,

I believe this thread is so old that the pictures are removed. But is the bracket in question the body bracket that you can get to under the side cover? If so that is what I was trying to research. Mine broke in half on the right side. Looking for ways to fix this. Was really hoping that bracket was removable so it could be remanufactured or welded. What have others done? Or is this a lone very rare case?

Just ran across my resurrected thread. Getting flashbacks. It was indeed the bracket that has that one bolt to frame under each side cover. Mine cracked back where it makes the 90 degree turn into part that is molded into body. Turns out they replaced my whole rear with a '12 model and matched the paint perfectly. Great until now when I want to replace damaged wheel fender. I may have to get one and custom paint since any stock ones won't fit. FYI never broke again. 134,000 miles on it now. I did have to repair bottom of tour pack after cracks formed. Reinforced with metal under it.
