I would try to find another stock case. There was a guy on ebay selling them for $75 a piece and had like 200 of them. I would do that first before I went to an aftermarket case. And working on a glide is alot simpler than most think. You can try to band-aid it for now but I am not sure it's going to work or if it does for how long. Sorry for the thrashing on it for weeks and still have more to do. :x
