Just been putting on new carpet on my 96zx180 (skeeter), everything was going well until we tried putting on the port side rod locker lid. it wont shut completly. We had to take off the hinges and for the most all of the lids and hinges have lined up, but this lid and hinge seems to be causing a head ache. The lid will only drop down from the open position to half way and stop any pressure from there will cause the hinge to pull away from the deck. That is one problem. the other is I have two center storage compartments. the very front one has been sitting up a little high about 1/4 in. or more ever since I have had the boat. I was hoping droping the hinge a bit would lower the lid to level with the deck but that did not work. doesnt matter how we do anything with it the bloody thing siit at the same height. Has anyone have a problem with there's? I was thinking maybe to grind down the edge of the lid and making sit lower. but right now after measuring everything it should sit flush. I was told by someone that all bass boat lids like that sit high. I dont know any idea's??
