If it would have hit you in the head you would have thought twice and bolted the box down...

My box wasnt held down either, I just used old yearbooks to keep it from slamming into my back bumper //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Either way, sucks, would've been cooler if it actually flew through the windshield ( w/ pics )

My box was so perfect in height that my hatch sat down on the box and held it pretty firmly in place.

mines not bolted yet either, but like ^^^ it fits real nice so if it moves at all it only can move an inch either way left and right. still gonna bolt it down though. always a great idea. if you can get pics of the terminal, i am sure we can figure out how to fix it. most likely a case of glue, and or solder.

u can try to fix the one that u have or u can see if u can get some generic terminal. no need trying to save the broken (and probably less functional than before) terminal

I was expecting some good pics judging from the title. But, I hope you take this opportunity to affix your enclosure to your trunk floor. L brackets, wood braces, etc would help stop this from EVER happening again. And, although it is funny, I have to be the martyr and let you know that you got lucky. You could have been injured. Good luck securing that enclosure!
