I've been living with my OEM boxes for a year and get along fine with them, but often wondered about the the springs that lift the lids against the latch. So I removed the springs and holders, I still push the lid down out of habit but less effort is needed and the locks now turn more freely. The seal is snug enough to prevent the lids from rattling.
The holders are horseshoe shaped, simply pry the legs apart and they come out with the spring, and they can be pushed back into place if desired.
Can anyone suggest a reason for the springs to be there?
