I just used 2 small metal hinges on either side at the back after using my dremel to cut off the stock plastic hinges and smooth them out. I need to remove the metal hinges, scuff them and paint them black so they blend in. The repair is strong though, new latches are available no problem at dealers--I needed one of those too--my '03 GTI came to me with broken hinges and a broken latch.
