Hey guys, we have a 2010 173T with a Dometic fridge. The fridge door is getting a bit wonky, and we noticed that the pin receiver on the door at the top used to have a tiny molded plastic piece in it, but now it doesn't and the door has lots of wiggle room. The latch works, but we have to use two hands to lift and square the door to shut it. Here's a video of a few angles showing where the silver pin "attaches" to the door. That square hole should have something in it. https://youtu.be/pSeHx1ZGOZc - https://youtu.be/pSeHx1ZGOZc It seems like an easy fix, but I'm having a hard time searching for what that part might be called and where to buy it. I figure I'll get in touch with Dometic directly at some point, but I'd rather see if anyone else has had this problem and if you know where to get a tiny little replacement part. Alternatively, a photo of what your intact fridge hinge would be appreciated, too, because I could 3D print one. Thanks so much! Here's a photo showing where the pin goes into the door but it swims in the cutout because it's missing a piece:
