Side cover falls off
Got an 08 1200XL Low and the left hand battery side cover falls off . Come to find out I think there are suppose to be two plastic clips the the top of the cover fastens too . I only have one . Question is , are there suppose to be two of these cheap clips ? If so I need one . Any suggestions to where to buy one besides at a dealer ? Any other ways to secure besides the clips ? Thanks in advance for any help ...

I have read about this problem several times and was worried it might happen to me. One day, when I had my seat off, I noticed a small slit in the left upper corner of the cover as well as a same size slit in the frame that lines up perfectly. One zip tie later the cover is securely attached.
Check your bike for these slits as Desert Drifter showed in the picture with the yellow zip tie.

great timing on this thread- thanks op...
i was having charging issues and had pulled the cover off to check the pigtail. then went for a ride and noticed my cover hanging down. thats not a good feeling!
pulled over and got it to attach, but i think it was only on the top left. could not get the right top to grab.
so this thread is very helpful. i will secure it better when i get home
thanks guys!!
