The other day I put an item in the left compartment. The door would not latch. At first I thought something might be in the way. Nope. Got it closed and went on my way. Upon further inspection later, I discovered that the one hinge is completely broken. Thanks to the safety cord and piston the door will not come off and I can get it latched with some finagling. Haven't called the dealer yet. I don't know what they can do about it anyway. It is a stupid plastic part that the hinge rides on. I have no idea how it could have broken. Weird.
