How do you put the screw in the secure the tail? Right now I used duck tape and it seems to work but I don't know for how long.

It is easy, where the manual indicates with your hand you must spin the screw doing a hole in the squirrel until the tail is secured.

my screw was already in the base, you have to unscrew it, attach the tail and then put the screw back in.

It is anything but easy. Hold the squirrel upside down with the front towards you. From the right side insert and turn the screw by hand as far as you can and then tighten it with a very short stubby Phillips screw driver or one that's on a 90 degree angle. Good Luck.

The one I received has a screw hole at the underside of the base to attach the tail. It works just fine.

I used duck tape to hold it in place and then scewed it together...prety simple after that.

Yeah, it can be a bit stiff to unscrew, therefore making it less obvious. The tailcap is only the last few millimeters, so grip only that part. I needed a pliers with a towel around them (to prevent toolmarks) when my batteries *finally* died. I also had a little trouble figuring out where exactly to unscrew, so you're not alone.

I have several on a shelf I mounted on the wall. They are partly open in the back, so you could try putting 2 picture hanger-type hooks in the wall (level and about 7 1/2" apart) and catching the back of the unit on the hooks. I'm not sure how secure this would be, so I'd squeeze the hook as tight as possible to make it hold snuggly. I'd give it a good firm wiggle & tug before putting anything in it. Don't use it if it's not really secure; you don't want it falling off the wall once it's loaded. A shelf might be better.I think if you try to drill holes in the plastic it will crack the plastic.

Use fishing line not floss. If it's a back emblem it's more complex and YouTube is the best way to go for the answer.

There is a split in the Crittercord that runs the total length of it. After installing I found that wrapping a piece of tape or something similar around each end helps keep the ends of the Crittercord around the wire. Personally, I actually used a small automotive screw clamp like those that would be used on a fuel line. My dogs kept pulling the tape off. I've had good luck with the Crittercord. I have thirteen Bichon Frise's in the house and not one of them has touched the cords since its installation.

My opinion is this bracket is a piece of junk. If you buy it you're just throwing away your money. You would be better off using duck tape. I'm sorry if I come away harsh but I wouldn't use this bracket again if they gave it to me free including shipping.

The only thing I could think of was to buy dark brown duck tape to edge it. May not be the prettiest fix, but it works

The screw that is used is a Phillips head, and the plastic cap has a "stem" that is shaped to conform to the head of the screw. Try rotating the cap until it "settles" into the shape of the screw head. It might still be somewhat loose, but it's the best you can hope for.

The little sticky-outy bump goes into the screw. I had no troubles. You could always put a touch of glue on the nub and set it on the screw head...

I looked at mine. I do not see anything that looks like a way to re-attach. Perhaps yours broke? Like others have said, some super glue may be the answer.

You can get something called a "helicoil" to fix this. You drill out the hole to the size required (see the package for details) and insert the helicoil. When you insert the screw it expands and grips the walls of the hole. I hope this helps.

I would call a place that installs windshields and ask them what they use to remove the glue they use to install windshields with. You might see if you might get it to peel off. Sticking duck tape on it and pulling it off might get a good part of it off. Anyway good luck!

Use the screws. Drills easily enough and won't come off. The clips will work. Just don't trust them.

I used a socket, put my screw driver(with rubber handle so it gripped inside the socket) with an extension to be able to reach it....... Think it's a flaw in the design but a little ingenuity and you'll get it :) Duck tape and a broom handle anyone?

Yes, I was able to twist out the tail. Not sure if it's just loose, not glued well, or meant to come out. Makes cleaning easier, or the plug can be used by itself.

Unfortunately, the screw will not tighten well enough to keep the fan in place. Yeah, mine just flops too. Find your desired position and wrap a piece of tape around the fan and one of the clamp handles. Looks terrible, but works perfect. The fan itself works pretty well, but its made pretty cheaply.
