Just bought this neat little TT and the hatch has sprung back. I would guess it has released by about 3/8-1/2" at the bottom in increased chord length. The side ribs are exposed when closed and is unfinished plywood. Maybe it got wet sometime or another. Sheathing is laminate both inside and out. I think there are 4 inner cross supports parallel with the hinge. Can this be reformed in place? Perhaps by soaking the outer side ribs and putting a little chord like tension (sideways D) on it? Or is time to resign myself to a bungee cord for hold down? Check Hall of Fame, (Tinas Tiny Trailer) for a profile photo. Thanks for all the expert advice.
