I made two such repairs this summer on NG 900"s. the tonneau cover motor is designed to release and pivot away from the driven gear housing. this allows the tonneau cover to be moved by hand. the soft metal at the pivot point twists over time alowing the motors drive gear to disengage the driven gear. the repair is to remove the assembly, remove and discard the hinge pin, twist the housing back (heat gun works great), reassemble using a longer hing pin and install a L bracket at each end of the hinge pin. this 12 dollar kit results in a positive engagement of the gears and a permanent fix!
