I have the new 2018 ES and it has a hard tonneau cover which hinges up. Just found the left hand hinge which attaches to the cover has cracked and now fallen off. This seems to be a bad desgin as a lot of stress is applied to these hinges when you open and close and remove the cover. I'm waiting to see if the dealer will replace this under warranty (only 6 weeks old!!!)

Anyone else had this problem?

Thats bad, just keep hitting them for a replacement every time it goes, till you run out of warranty or they get fed up

A solution before you reach end of warranty would be (assuming they do not redesign it beforehand), to add additional bracing brackets made of plastic or steel and araldite or bolt them in.
