Hi Louis, I had a crack appear in my louvers many years ago. I ended up making brackets out of aluminum and screwed them together through the center spine. I haven't had a problem since and the additional weight has not affected the louvers from being held up by the shocks. A second benefit is the I use the braces to hold the wires to my two 16 LED third brake lights. I have these brackets available if you are interested. Good luck in whatever you do.
