    I have seen on similar latches where they just turn a quarter turn to the left to release it. I wonder if on this one if you have to stick a small screwdriver in the hole to depress that tab first before turning it? Let me know what you find out.

    An update to these glass washer lids.
    The Internet has many postings about how they crack at the corners. Design is totally flawed by Maytag / Whirlpool. Why put a heavy piece of glass in a plastic housing. And then the metal hinges on either side of the lid vibrate when the machine spins.These vibrations carry into the plastic housing. I tried many things to repair the cracks. All kinds of adhesives including Gorilla epoxy, and Industrial tapes, but noting holds up to the vibrations. This video talks about JB Weld plastic bond agent I plan to try ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ap8wOvfGFcc
