Tank trunk lid flew off.

So I have a 2018 S as a rental right now and the tank trunk lid and locking ring (the part the hinge attached to and the lock keys into) flew off as I was riding down the highway the other day. I'm trying to get a warranty claim going but I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this? How is it held on? Is it an adhesive or is it actually bolted down? Any help here would be appreciated.

It's supposed to be plastic welded to the rest of the trunk tub.

It was apparently and it failed.

I had the same issue. The lid flew away on my 2017 S. The ring is glued to the tank assembly but if the surface is not perfectly clean and prepared it will not stick to the tank. It has been accepted as warranty issue, Zero replaced the whole tank.

Confirms what I though happened. Dumb way to hold the thing in if you ask me. Zero is covering as a warranty claim which is great because it was a rental and not a cheap part to replace.
