I wish I could help but Yakima does not offer any replacement lid supports for the Yakima SpaceBooster Cargo Box (1998-2003) anymore. I would only be able to recommend a full replacement like the Yakima SkyBox 12 Rooftop Cargo Box part # Y07334. The other option you have would be to try and retro fit a lid support from another cargo box like the Replacement Lid Support for Yakima Cargo Boxes part # 8880683 but we don't really have any advice for this.
