i have the 35L lid and have to dig the seal out with a screwdriver.
has the lid warped or the seal deformed?
some of those seals have different shape sides i think.
new seal for $12?
a smear of food grade silicone lube?
a hammer?
i can imagine it would be a PITA if it keeps falling out.
BTW peter c. the lids can handle the weight, they just aren't rigid enough to handle the sideways movement.
i have S/S fishing wire through a piece of silicone tube under the top, connected to a small pulley system, connected to the roof.
i can raise and lower the whole rig on & off the still, or leave it dangling while i clean the boiler.
