Battery Cover not fitting?
Discussion
Has anyone found their battery cover won't clip in on the nearside/middle clip?
The clip and guide pin aligns with the corresponding holes, but the cover is bowed upwards so pops back out. If I fit the offside then hold the middle in place, the nearside outer clip won't even align with it's mounting hole, so the cover itself somehow seems to have warped to be too wide. I've checked everything is flush and fitted correctly at the sides on the hooks and guides.
Thanks for any tips.

Yes I had the same problem, in fact the clips were broken on mine although I believe that the fuse box had been opened at some point before I got the car which was second hand.
I had a look at the problem and was gong to sort it out myself but as the wiring loom going in to the fuse box was under tension I decided to drive over from York to Manchester (twice) but they eventually sorted it under warranty.
Mine is a 2019 car.
The dealer network is so thinly spread this sort of problem is a pain.
Hey ho, the joys of ownership outweigh the down sides.

My 2019 Legende was exactly the same, Manchester got me a replacement under warranty when I collected it Ian the tech. guy said they were all the same slightly warped so was no different.
