How do you attach the piano hinges? I have used them for repairs but the screws pull out in our AZ heat...


There are apparently some other good coolers out there but anything with the name Coleman, Igloo or Gott is not one of them. Someone needs to step up and give yeti some competition.


Use leather for the "hinge".
