So your plunger's ripped? That's pretty common when you mod it. I'd recomend something with greater elasticity like silicone or masking tape on the back of it. Happened to mine too.

Is it a broken plunger shaft?
If it is, go to home depot and get a thin metal rod, like I did, of use a coat hanger. Cut the metal to be as long as the entire shaft. Then cut whatever plastic might be in your way of filling the entire side of the shaft with plumber’s goop. Then do just that. Squeeze a whole line down the side and fill the small track halfway full or so with goop. Then place the coat hanger in the goop. I doubled that up, with he only single piece of wire being below the catch notch. Do that to the other side as well. And here's the hard part, seriously. Let it sit for at least a week. That may sound crazy, but it's the sort of thing you don't want to do twice, and with the large quantities of goop, it will take that long to really cure. I'll post pics of minetomorrow just to make it clear.

no clue about the BBB. Post pics or something, worst case senario, you could ship it to me and i could do what i could to fix it. Pics would work though.
