Broken top box arm and tight seat spacers on a 2016 RT Limited - any ideas/assist?

[Baird4444]

New to me 2016 RT Limited - the right arm on the rear top box lid is broken. Diagrams aren't clear to me,
seems like a fix for me would be a good epoxy and then drill and pin it, or epoxy a strip on the edge, See pic....

When removing the seat, those spacers for the rear bolt seem a little tight, could make re-install fun.
Thinking on filing the length for easier install - anybody done this??

Thanks for any assist, really like, and use forums

This is just a long shot, but maybe if you can go to a dealer, they can find a replacement part for that hinge! I just tried to look it up and the break down picture isn't really clear on how that breaks down! I have had good luck repairing tabs and what not with JB weld in the past, they make all kinds of different products for different applications!!!! Good luck any way!!

I believe the arms are part of the inner cover, part number 708300678. $89.99

The outer cover is easy to remove, with 6 torx screws inside, giving you a much better view of the arms.

Does the outer cover have a storage rack on it????

a better look tells me that the arm IS part of the inner cover.... just me and the interwebs, no CANAM dealer for a couple hundred miles....
going for the Epoxy and melt in a couple hot wires as well.

yea had another look this AM.... saw arm WAS part of the inner cover. Think I'll go for the epoxy and a couple of hot wire stitches as well.
yes, it doe have the rack on the outside.... looks like the break was caused by trying to raise the lid too far??
think I'll change the strut while I'm at it.
