Apollo Go: Hook Magnet Falling OffUpdated a month ago

What is the recommended solution for a detached magnet?

The most viable and easiest fix for customers who have had the magnet on their hook fall off is to reattach it using sandpaper and epoxy.

⚠️ This issue most commonly reported with earlier batch of the Apollo Go. Has been resolved in the latest iteration.

What materials do I need?

  • Small piece of sandpaper
  • Strong epoxy adhesive (recommended: Gorilla Glue Epoxy)
  • The detached magnet and hook

What are the steps to fix the magnet?

  • Rough up the surface of the hole where the magnet sits using sandpaper
  • Apply strong epoxy to the prepared surface
  • Place the magnet back into position
  • Allow the epoxy to fully cure according to product instructions

Why does this method work?

  • Roughing up the surface of the hole allows for better adhesive bonding to the metal
  • Using a strong epoxy like Gorilla Glue creates an extremely strong bond

Where can I get the recommended epoxy?

The recommended epoxy can be purchased here: Gorilla Epoxy on Amazon
