My gas locker cover was cracking in the corners due to the fact that the bottom edge would slide off the little lip when someone would stand or sit on it. The PO had tried to re-enforce the upper corners with fiberglass but the corners would soon crack again and the bottom edge of the cover would again slide off the lip so I used a strip of cutting board and bolted it to the outside raising it about 1/4 in. to create a channel for the bottom of the cover to sit in. Works great. Anybody else have this problem? Fixes?

I replace the machine screws in the hinges with good results and haven't had to do anything else yet.

I like this....it's going on my project list when I tackle the fuel locker lid. Mine needs new hinges. And a good cleaning.
