Mine broke and I got by for months with a yarn and bead device my daughter made
to keep the lid down.  Sort of.  Then I finally found a chunk of plastic about
the right size and I cut it to fit.

Now why, you might ask, didn't I check with you folks for a part like this?

Red Green would understand:  real men don't tell other guys they need help with
a part they could just as well manufacture themselves with a little ingenuity
and dogged determination over a period of several months.  Simple.
