Troubleshooting
Lid does not open automatically
Ensure the bungee cord is securely attached to both the storage lid and the bin's lid handle. Check that the gas spring is installed correctly and is not obstructed. Verify the bin inside is not excessively heavy or preventing upward movement.

Water pooling inside the unit
Confirm that the unit is on level ground. Check that the drainage holes, if present, are not blocked. Ensure the lid seals are intact and not allowing significant water ingress during rain.
