Hengs escape hatch lid replacement

Im stumped, and missing something.

I just pulled the old escape hatch lid of my 06 six pac in order to replace it with a new hengs unit (the old one is in bad shape and probably not worth fiberglassing.) I for the life of me can not figure out why the lid falls out of the hinge when bedding the lid. Te hing style is continuous metal opposing 'C'. I had to slide the old one out, but the new one just pushes back in, no need to slide. In fact, the old one does that now as well. Is there some trick to getting these things to hold together?
  • I’d suggest trying to post a second time. This one is unintelligible to me.
  • disregard. I thought they slipped together like the rolled sheetmetal hinges. This lid hinge slides over the base hinge completely. It just took me forever to figure it out. New Hengs lid works fine on my 2006 Six Pac escape hatch for anyone searching.
