Hello All,

One time during a flight with my P4, I happened to clip the top of a sign with one of the landing treds of the drone, which resulted in two plasic cover pieces popping out of the wall fo the treads (see attached photos). Thankfully, the drone itself was unharmed and none of the plastic on the body or feet was cracked. But I'm wondering if it's possible to get replacements of the two plastic cover pieces that are now missing, since they were protecting the inside wiring from the elements.

Thanks,
Jason O

You could just cover them with tape.

Thanks for the additional input. However, we're not recommending our customers to fix the drone or replace the parts on the aircraft as this process will void the warranty of the aircraft. For further details, you may check our after-sale policy.

Thats interesting to know regarding these covers DJI Tony, when i claimed warranty when a cover was missing on my P4P, DJI said they will just send me the covers out, they actually sent me a new full set of landing Legs, so im not so sure the policy applies to parts that are removable, perhaps the same would apply to the LED covers too?

I think we had a big discussion about tis some time ago and came up with heaps (and even some practical) suggestions.As usual can't locate it at the moment.
Try some plastic tubing (piping). Cheap and unique look.
