| The little ribbon that holds the case partially open on my 9117 has come loose from it's insertion point next to the accessories box.
Anyone know how to repair this? |

Now, if the ribbon broke off, you're screwed. You will have to fabricate a new one, long enough to attach inside the lid, and extend into the bottom; probably using the dinnerknife scenario again. |

Location: SoCal | oh... and don't let the wife know you're using the dinner knives. Nylon webbing from REI works great for replacement ribbon. |

What? Your bag-of-coal didn't come gift-wrapped?! |
