Fridge door molding repair / jurry rig. How to?

Hello all.

I have a small undercabinet fridge.

inside the door there is a space to hold some bottles. The bottles are held in place by a transparent plastic bar. The bar itself is held to the door by sloting itself on small bumps that are molded into the door frame itself.

After years of use and because I probably put bottle with a slightly too big circumference in it these molding have broken clean off the door.

I am looking for suggestions to fix this.

I don't think just glueing the part is going to do any good.

I though about "nailing" or more efficiently screwing them back in but the inside of the door seems hollow with only some foam in it so not much structure to hold the screws and then support the force on the bar once bottles will be put back in. Also with screws it is probable that the plastic bar will be much harder to slot in the repaired molding as the screw will always pop out a bit I think.

I am thinking maybe using some king of wooden dowels, clean the hole by emptying the foam in the hole area but the question remains of how to make the dowels stay in place and hold the force of the bar loaded with the bottles...

Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Looking for a spacepen brand Wallet.

Hello all :)

I have a Spacepen brand wallet. I've brought it 20-25 years ago, online from the USA (I am in France).

It feature a large full width bills pocket, 8 cards slots with one having a transparent window, 2 half width hidden pockets behing the card slots and a central indent to hold a bullet space pen.

The bullet space pen has been lost but I replaced it with a smaller pen, tweezers, and a hightech simcard ejector AKA a paperclip :D

Obviously after such a long daily use it is starting to degrade a lot, stitching is starting to break in multiple places.

I don't know if my google-fu is weak but I haven't been able to find a replacement. Not only I cannot find one for sale, I cannot even find any mention of that product having ever existed :).

So it is obvious it is a long since discontinued product.

But since there is a subreddit for wallets, I try my luck here to see if anyone would know of a possible place to find some "old new stock" of this wallet somewhere.

If not I'll try to have it "copied" in a leatherworking shop if I ever go back to Thailand, as I cannot even imagine the price it would be to have it done in France or anywhere in the western world (I am not cheap, just poor :D , and yes I am aware of the hypocrisy to declare myself poor while thinking about international travel :D )

An aproximate price point for a copy would be welcome if a leatherworker is seeing this.

Sugestions about possible commercial replacements options with other wallets with the same features are welcome.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

How to be Very Very sure I don't impact an Icloud shared drive when reinstall a Macbook pro?

Hello,

I am a windows / android guy. Not confortable with apple hardware and OSes.

I need to reinstall an old donated macbookpro 2017 for a friend.

The computer is not booting normally and has not been used for years. I can access the user account after a boot in safe mode.

However the Computer then request that I log in again the AppleID and Icloud services as there is a problem.

I do not have these passwords.

The fact that I see files and folders in the Idrive folder but cannot open or copy them seems to confirm there is indeed an anthetification problem for these services.

I want to Nuke the OS partition and then reinstall the OS.

However I'd like to be Super Duper Certain that I won't erase / impact or affect anything in these AppleID , Idrive, Iphoto, Iwhatever accounts as this is a small business account that is still very much activelly used on other machines...

I was planning on the following sequence :

Boot in safe mode and log in the current user account.

Connect to the Internet.

Go to settings and uncheck and the active synchronizations choices concernning AppleID, Idrive, Iphoto, Iwhatever services I can find.

Disconnect the computer from the Internet

Reboot in Recuperation Mode.

Erase the current OS partiton on the SSD

Reboot in recuperation Mode

Reinstall the OS

Reboot normally

Create a new user account.

Am I right in thinking that this will ensure a "factory fresh" reset computer WITHOUT risking any erasure or effect on the files in the different shared cloud folder of the AppleID/Icloud/Idrive/ Iphoto / Etc of the current user?

Thanks in advance for your help.
