Damaged Skimmer

[s_dubb]

I thought I was doing something good when I replaced the weir door but I didn’t pay attention or I didn’t know the skimmer tabs were actually broken. I have attached a picture (not the greatest, it’s under water) of the weir door and you can see the tabs that hold it from flopping forward are really small because most of the tab is broken off on both sides. Well now that the weir door has been slamming against both the small tabs it has cracked. Anyone have any ideas on a fix?

You might be able to add a tab to the top of the skimmer to prevent the weir for flipping outward.
Maybe use some 3M double sided tape or epoxy.

Is it normal for door to slam that hard into the tabs to damage/break them? Its like that on both sides and my new door has a crack.

Not really. You sure a kid did not pull on it or something?

I guess the previous owners kids could have done it.
