If you have TruckShield's magnetic shields and if you registered your purchase with them, you have a lifetime replacement guarantee against loss or damage.

Magnets can be remagnetized. I found this post on the (believe it or not) Nuts and Volts Forum. Personally, I'd buy new magnets or drink heavily before trying this . . .

Not sure if this is helpful, not knowing the size, etc of the magnets involved, but I used to re-magnetize old loudspeaker alnicos by clamping them in a vise, wrapping a few turns of battery booster cable around the magnet while it was in the vise, and connecting the ends to a car battery for a fraction of a second.

If the magnet was too small to get cable around it, I'd wrap the cable around the "arm" and movable jaw of the vise. Didn't have to be a neat winding. Just a few turns.

The vise formed a complete magnetic path around the magnet.

Sparky and dramatic, and wear gloves and glasses, and keep away from fuels, but it worked. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
