I think that is the way to go...but it's also something probably for the off season - our local shops seem super overworked and don't seem to be quick to get anything scheduled. Hope they're still in that price range!

For now, I am looking for a strong/effective Band-Aid until I can get the real fix completed! Will definitely try the plastic shim hack to see if that helps, but still need to get the platform back attached to the support arms first!
