A couple weeks ago, I was cleaning my 575. There was a good bit of water in it which I was preparing to sponge out. Unfortunately, a "helper" thought it would be easier to tip the unit and let the water run out. Of course, when he was losing control of it, he grabbed the handle to right it. And, you guessed it, the door curvature does not quite align with the barrel. There is a gap in the bottom right corner of 1/4" inch or so. The gap continues up the side and narrows as it rises, I have tried shimming the hinges to no avail. I have been covering the door with a couple old towels since. This is fine for now in cold weather but spring is approaching and it will look tacky. Will this really matter in the 575 performance if it is open? Has anyone met this challenge? I am thinking spring locks as it will align perfectly with a little pressure. Also, would it hurt to drill a drain hole in the bottom. It sure would make cleaning easier.
Thanks
