Answer
Dear Anne,
I am not familiar with the little compartment lid you mention, but I think this is a common case of living (polypropylene) hinges broken, which are not repairable by welding.You may either send a close-up picture to my e-mail for free help or get my plastics repair manual at www.bumper2bumperplasticsrepairmanual.com
Normally you do not have to remove the entire dash to replace these pieces.Hope to hear from you again thanks.
P.S.Please indicate the words plastics repair so I can know is not spam.
