This is a fantastic tutorial! This exactly problem happened to my Braava. I think I can mangel This repair!

One of the most detailed and useful videos I've ever seen. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

Great video! My M6 has the same problem and your video will be a great help. Minor point- you showed pin-hinge assembly at 8:30 but then at 10:00 the pin was off the assembly. Then later you showed pin installation again. Maybe you wanted to assemble the pin first before final assembly but then you realized it was not possible and the pin was removed. But you didn't explain it in the video. Again a small issue and viewers probably can figure it out. I can see your motivation for pre-assemble the pin because you demonstrated in the later section how difficult it was in the final assembly. Thanks again for the great video and helping the consumers!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!! I’ll be replacing my lid and this video is EXACTLY what I needed. I will also be making a Video and will absolutely give your channel a Shout Out!! Awesome job. Seriously.

Brilliant New lid on in 15 minutes using gel crimps Thanks 😊

This is evidently a weak spot of the M6. My lid hinge has broken exactly as shown in this video, and some searching around has found others complaining about the same thing. Unfortunately, the ebay listing linked below is "Out of stock" and I've exhausted my search to find a replacement elsewhere. Seems the only recourse for a direct replacement is to buy another used/broken M6 from ebay and strip it for its parts. I have a hobby machine shop so I'm going to see if I can figure a way to make a complete new hinge assembly from aluminum (that I'll screw/bolt onto the original lid) so that it won't break again. A big job, but I'm recently retired and this'll keep me busy for a while. :-/ P.S. This was a great video with all the necessary detail. Thank you for making it!

You're Welcome! Try the link again, if you don't want to do your own fix (which sounds fun and cool). I listed a few more back in stock if you end up wanting a replacement. Thanks

[@HangarQueen]

@@brobots240 Thanks again. I went ahead and made aluminum hinges for mine. Of course I doubt anyone else will follow this DIY path, but FWIW, here's my YT video of the process: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6G3mmOYnNp8npI . I prominently linked mine back to yours (this one) of course.

Can I bypass the lid sensor so it thinks it’s down all the time? I don’t want to get this involved.

[@Venziocastroo]

Great detailed video, I need the top door I was using tape now the door hook broke. Where can I order the parts?

[@brobots240]

Ebay is the best place to find the lid

why is water dripping from my braava jet® m6? water runs under the Brava when I lift it up on the back side it drips where the battery is WHY?THANK YOU. I am from greece

[@barbaraaldridge1017]

my hinge lid is fine, but the little plastic piece that holds the lid closed (looking at the m6, it's the little clear piece at the bottom (or the edge of the circle lid closest to you). Do you have any idea where we might find one and is it replaceable?

[@brobots240]

Its replaceable if it didn't break off, and instead just came off from being clipped in. its a clip and two small springs

@@brobots240 thank you for this, we looked and could not find it. I think it actually broke off, but will show this to my husband. He had tried gluing it back on, we'll see if that works too.

[@summerlake356]

But wait! I never noticed that there was a NEW lid. Was the old lid simply repaired, or was it changed for a new lid?

[@brobots240]

It's a whole new lid. They usually can't be repaired once the hinges are broken.

[@summerlake356]

@@brobots240 aha, ok! Thanks for the response!

[@RyanJaimieLive]

Where did you get the new hinge from?

[@myraja_journeys3055]

I call the customer service, and they asked me to buy the tanks (they said it comes with the Lid) is it true?

[@brobots240]

@@myraja_journeys3055 Are you needing the water tank? Or the Lid on the irobot?

[@myraja_journeys3055]

My water tank is completely fine... but the top lid is broken. I call CS iRobot and they told me to buy the tank since they said the lid comes with it. But I'm so confused

[@brobots240]

@myraja_journeys3055 iRobot CS are idiots. They think you are talking about the lid/cap on the water tank itself. You can not buy the Lid/Hinge from iRobot. You have to purchase that part elsewhere.
