I reglassed the lid/quarter berth back in place when I replaced my tank. It only takes a few minutes and I think the interior funiture attached to the hull helps stiffen the hull assembly. I would hesitate to leave it loose on one side. I used a fiberglass tape I bought at Tap Plastics called Knytex. It comes in different widths and I think I used 2". Glued that in place with West Sytems epoxy and finished with some white Bilge Coat I had in the garage.
