Unfortunately I didn't take pictures when I had the door apart. Essentially, the Mirage door is metal on the outside, with plastic on the inside held with two tiny plastic clips and some 3M sticky tape. I have two Mirage mods, both of which have failed; the door on each has popped open, as all of the weight of the battery is on the two plastic tabs that aren't anywhere nearly strong enough to support the weight. This in my opinion is a design defect, and I'd suspect that most of these mods will break in this way over time.

My fix was pretty simple: took apart the metal and plastic door, removed the tape, and applied a very strong epoxy. You have to be very careful, as too much epoxy will seal the door lock slider and the door will be useless. Overall it only takes a few minutes to loosen the two screws, remove the door and apply the epoxy. Compress it and let it set overnight, and you're back in business.

Thanks I for the info. I attempted this fix with marginal success. going to have to attempt it again.

Could you post a pic of the fix? I've had mine just over a month, the battery door is definitely the weak point on an otherwise strong mod. 

My only other complaint is just a nitpick, the screen cover creaks a bit in my hand. 

Yes Please, I also have dropped my Mirage and the door has given way. I would love to see pic of your repair
