I tore the whole thing apart, and those connectors have no hope. I ended up splicing a bundle of wires as jumpers, so the connectors are bypassed. Had to drill a hole to reroute the bundle in the lid too. This took a couple hours, as I think a couple wires got grounded squeezing the extra wires in a small space, so after a couple tries it worked alright. The only problem now is the remote doesn't work all of a sudden. The connector between the rack base and the case is the same type of POS, so I can't expect that to last very long or too many mechanical connect/disconnections. I'm done with making this work.

I'll use it for a while, then replace it with a bigger model (either a Givi, or super-cheap generic box).
