Top was still tethered on with the strap that keeps it from opening too far. Actually bought a set of improved hinges for $5. That was 7-8 years ago and we still use it regularly.

Used to do that, now I just cut a 3 inch piece off an old leather belt and run the old stainless screws from the hinge through it. Never had to replace one ever again.
