Hey all,

On my 2017 JK there's a 2 pin connector for the alternator, and I managed to snap off the clip on the alternator itself. I've found plenty of advice on replacing the 2 pin pigtail, but nothing on what to do with this problem short of replacing the alternator.

Stock photo below. The small retaining clip between the two fins is gone.

Only potential solutions I can think of are:
1) using some tape or zip ties to secure it to the alternator housing or
2) drill a small hole where the tab used to be, then use a small, watch-style screw to keep it in place.

Yeah I've got tape on there for now, but switching to zip ties and clamping it down is likely the move. Thanks!
