Fix storage bin latch

Well finally happened, the plastic on the bin latch broke. Tried to epoxy it back together with no luck. So I decided to spend a whole $2 to fix the problem. Went to local hardware store and got 2 each nylon nuts, bolts and washers. Drilled out the lid and fitted it all together.



And this is how it looks. I have the Dark Grey touch-up paint which is almost the exact same color.

I enlarged the pictures for you. If you use the method outlined in my sig they come out large.

JB Weld worked on mine, your fix looks good, but the left screw is not level in rotation to the other one.. That stuff would keep me awake at night..
