Metallic grinding or scraping noise when opening or closing the lid.

Safety first: Ensure the grill is cool before adjusting hinges.

• Inspect hinges: Check for bent brackets or missing hardware at the lid hinges.
• Tighten hardware: Use appropriate tools to snug all hinge bolts and screws.
• Realign lid: Loosen hinge bolts slightly, adjust the lid for even gaps, then retighten.
• Replace worn bushings: If the lid wobbles or binds, install a new Timberwolf Lid Hinge Bushing Kit.
