So I know you're all been anxiously awaiting the result of this. Took it in today for repair. The shop said there wasn't one screw in there and no signs of any screw head indentations which I previously thought. Only charged me $60 for half an hour. I'm surprised I didn't see this sooner as we did a 7000 mile trip last summer. And I guess the foam rubber strip was the only thing preventing the compartment from swinging back and forth. More THOR excellent quality. I think I'll send them the bill
