Keezer top will no longer sit flush

[thompsng]

Hey everyone,

So I built a keezer and I had to move it across a few states the other day. It was in the back of my truck and the top flew open, causing me to drive for a while on the highway with the top up, not directly facing the wind, but I think the joints/springs got over extended due to the pressure.

Now the top will not sit flush. (See pictures below) What are my options? So far I am thinking of either installing some type of latch in the front, or just taking the whole top off and re-installing it.

Thanks for the help!

The metal on the back of the lid most likely got bent where it attaches to the hinges. You may have to move the hinges over some to get it to sit flat again.
