Its probably the snapped hinge that causes the miss alignment. Not much to do im afraid, other than getting a new dust cover from a donor deck.

Difficult to explain, but the hinge block needs to "lean forward" as it is lowered into place.

Thanks, that makes sense, Martin. I probably shouldn't be trying to lower the cover before it is securely screwed in place. I just thought doing so might help get the mounting screw holes aligned. Any thoughts on how to do so?

Thanks

The holes in the hinge block and the holes in the chassis must align.
To do this, the hinge block must go down a further 2mm or so.
That's what I talk about, when I say that the hinge block must lean a bit forward to get it down into place.

I am not talking about the dustcover. 

Martin

Thanks Martin. I understand that the hinge block must go down further for the holes to align, but I can't see how to make it do so. I tried leaning it forward as you suggest, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. There doesn't seem to be much wiggle room between the hinge block and the chassis, so it doesn't really lean forward much at all - it slides down a bit on the chassis and comes to a solid stop just a bit too high.

There are two screws that hold the hinge block to the dust cover. Would you recommend removing them and seeing if disassembling the hinge block will help it get into place? I just don't know if I'd be able to reassemble it once it's in place again.

Thanks again for your help.

Anyone else have experience installing the lid on an RX2? Should disassemble the hinge before trying to install? Thinking about trying that but I'm worried about getting it back together again.

Thanks Peter- I am taking my time but I seem to have hit a dead end. I'm hoping someone who's been through this before has a tip to get the cover hinge to sink lower and align properly.
