Anything more on this? Any idea where Malibu sources their hinges? What about just using a piano hinge on the front edge?

The problem with a front hinge is the base seat sits under the back pad. Plus limited access to the compartment when open.

Gotcha. I had a front-mounted piano-style hinge on my 07 VTX, and it worked better than nothing. May go that route in the future. One thing I did notice is that I would be drilling part of the hinge into black metal cutout in the seat base (not sure if coated steel or aluminium.
