I broke one side of the mirror in my top case the other day trying to open it without being able to get the lid up all the way. I broke one of the plastic pins off at the corner where they swivel. I didn't want to do the piano hinge thing again so I found the piece that broke off. I took the small pin and drilled a hole through it and then drilled a small hole through the part on the mirror. I found a small piece of bailing wire and ground one end down and slid it into the mirror part I had drilled. It fit snug. I then took the small plastic piece the broke off and slid it onto the wire and clipped off the wire that was sticking out. I put it back into the hinge partof the cover and reinstalled it. Worked like a charm................
