And this final photo sums up everything: worn metal, bad alignment, half closing (which leaks very badly in a car wash or in a storm), EVERYTHING.
As you can see, and as the kit above says, the metal has to be cut for it to pivot. And as we all know, you can take the toughest material in the world, cut it or even drill one hole in it, and it's lost all it's previous structual integrity. With the metal cut away, you'll notice how flimsy and thin the remaining half is. And this is done to both sides. The bad alignment and propped lid are a result of too much movement during normal day operation, simply because the lid isn't as solid as it once was.
