Peter Cooper answered in message news: snipped-for-privacy@corp.supernews.com after I asked:
I took it in today and the service bay drone wanted to write up a ticket for runing a "diagnostic" to verify there was indeed a problem. Hello?! The hinges are lifted up off the chasis and pulling away, easily -- easily -- viewable without having to diagnose anything. A quick lift of the back window will also show just how precarious this is... I'll probably eat my pride and bring it back for that diagnostic.
BTW: Thanks for the idea. I'll be sure to mention it on the return trip.

There was a recall on my '94 that fixed this problem. Be sure there's not a recall before paying any $.
