XL Egg Smoke Leakage

Help Needed!
Had my XL Egg 2 years and love it.
I have had increasing smoke leakage from back and done all of the adjusting and installing new felt I can. Have heard there are some strengthened/improved hinges available. Does anyone know what might be available and where? I sent a message to BGE customer Service with no response.
Thanks

I might try slightly loosening all the bolts that hold the hinge and metal bands together, situating the dome so that you have a good seal, then tightening them back up in stages while making sure that dome is sitting properly.

I was looking (just looking) at the XL, the dealer said because of the diamter the dome closes a little differently. When the is closed it to be tugged a little to get a good seal.
XL users will have jump in and help you with this.
If you have a visible gap or no pull on the dollar bill test chances are you are going to end up with problems.

Thanks I will give it another try.
