I broke a storage compartment thing today

[factory81]

The rear cargo area has the storage container on top that swings open. I broke the hinges.

What is this part called (the door with hinges)

What does this run (hinges, or door plus hinges if I need both)

It is dark out right now but it looks like it is possible to replace the hinges with your own from a home depot or lowes?

yep...make sure they're stainless.

:agree: just take the broken hinge with you to home depot/lowes to match up and you will be good to go; if you need the putco latch; i picked up one on e-bay pretty cheap

hinges at home depot

I replaced mine with brass 'cuz the Depot did not have stainless and I was too lazy to try West Marine. Had to drill out the factory's pop rivets and replaced with stainless nuts and bolts. As always the job will take 4 X longer than you think should. Murphy's Law applies here. Be patient with the pop rivets and don't booger the holes up. Oh yes.....don't count on the holes lining up perfectly. I had to enlage mine creatively.

Does your lid hinges use rivets? I think the challenger uses screws if I am not mistaken. That is what the fiche states.

Yes, they were rivets. I almost attempted the fix with sheet metal screws, but discovered pretty quick that fiberglass does not like them. It tries to crack......bad plan. Nuts and bolts are working well.....nm
