WonŽt work, tried it, not really sticky enough. I really need something working. I donŽt want to repair my babies every week, because they re falling of the case floor.

This won't require any modification of the model, and if you paint the hooks flat black, they will be invisible.
That sounds like a great idea. I will give that a shot. Thanks a lot. If that doesnŽt work, IŽll go with the axle solution.
