LGB 4048 Tool car question

I just received an LGB 4048 tool car from an Ebay seller. The rear door seems to have a problem with the top pivot hinge. I have had one of these cars in the past but I don't have it now, so I cannot compare the details. The top pin of the door will not stay in the slot. When the door is opened it falls off. Here is a photo of the very car. Note the top pin. Is something missing? Does anyone have one of these cars that can be compared to this photo?

[strike]Dan i have one of these will take a pick of the hinge [/strike]
[strike] for you if i can get the camera to work. [/strike]
Door should open and swing round not fall out
Pic attached (sorry best i can do with this camera)
there is a small tube 'hinge' at the top with a 'T' type rear that
slots in to the body at the top of the door.
The hinge pin then fits in the tube, so yes from the e-bay pic
you are a little piece missing.
It might be poss to make one with a bit of tube and some plastic
'T' section but would be a bit fiddly.
Hope that makes sence if not can borrow a beter camera, and take
a more detailed pic. (unless sone one else on here has a pic.

Rob,

Thanks for the picture. I came up with a solution, figuring that finding that part would be like trying to locate a particular grain of sand on the beach. The seller also refunded a small portion of the price I paid. :bigsmile:
