Re: my big butt!
use one of the bungy cords with the hooks at both ends. just wrap it around once and hook the hooks together maybe!

Re: my big butt!
Same thing happened 2 mine, but as i have had mine 2 long, many good memories, hard 2 bin it.. Drilled a hole the size of a bungy cord hook in the top of the lid that usually wend down under the clasp that held the box closed, then just wrapped one end 2 the Breakaway back rest, underneath the box and in thru the hole, works a treat
