    Megs 3" backing plate failure

    As seen on the photo the female part (in the BP itself) failed, after only a couple of uses.

    Looks like its made of aluminium, not able to match the task.

    Suggestions please.

    Contact Meguiars directly. They have fantastic customer service,and I am sure they will replace it for you.

    Contact Meguiars customer service. They will most likely send you a new one at no charge to you. My experience with them has always been top notch.

    Did the thread strip out or just loosen up?

    Knowing Meguiars, that probably won't be an issue.

    Meguiars.

    They have always been speedy. And I think the seller would probably refer you to them anyway.
