This is now a recognised problem. At
http://www.lego.com/advanced/m6p1.asp
I found:
QUESTION: There are two spring-loaded
transparent elements that open the doors
and pull the roof of the Supercar on and off.
Without any overloading or misuse, one of
these elements in my model broke. How
can that happen?
ANSWER: It may have broke because the
spring pushed out a weak plastic piece in
the bottom of the cylinder. This problem is
found in a small percentage of the first
shipment of these plastic pieces. Since
then, we have changed the plastic pieces,
so they cannot be broken by the spring. If
you have a broken element, contact your
local LEGO sales office for a new
replacement one.
