As stated above. Don't know how this happened, wasn't forced, but the plastic lugs of the hinge exploded off the spring loaded clips yesterday. They have sheared off the main body of the plastic hinge that's glued to the underside of the lid. Any ideas on locating a replacement hinge and/or advice on fix greatly appreciated. It's a Sag by the way, but I imagine it's the same on all T-Cars. Cheers!

I'd say scrappers? I currently have 2 (one is out of my car, the other is from another Pher) looking at the area you say it sounds odd that it failed you.

Without looking closely can you not simply drill through and fit some bolts/washers or use the TVR favourite, the rivnut?

On mine the springs were reversed so the lid wouldn't stay up when opened, the other one I have stays more open than shut!
