Lid Lock Assembly broke
76 of 95 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Jenessa from Tacoma, WA
  • Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Screw drivers
The Lid Lock Assembly came super fast! The install would have been flawless, but the "pre-drilled" holes on the new Lid Lock Assembly were way to small. We found that out after we had reconnected the wires and gotten it into place. Aside from that small set back, the install went great! This repair is definitey not one that you would need to pay a repair person to do!
