Has anyone a diagram of this, mine seems a little awkward to close and popped while driving earlier today, is it a two piece catch or should it be a hinge?

Is there a 'knack' to closing the lid?

Cheers.

In the middle of the front is a 2 piece catch, to hold the front down. One of the pieces is adjustable front to back....try messing with the adjustment. When the top is right it just goes up and goes down no tricks required.

I wasn't sure if that catch was once a one piece, thanks Wink
