When the first signals appeared of hinges braking it was concluded  
that it was important to treat the hinges like you do hinges on a  
kitchen cupboard (The ones that have screws adjusting hight and  
debt). You should be careful getting them very even.

This mean that you have to look at the tibook in closed stage and  
make certain the little space between the bottom and the lid is  
exactly the same all around. If not the suggestion was to loosen the  
hinges a little.

My first saved link doesn't work any more but I found the same kit here:

It may be smart to search google.com for "Tiglide" to check for best  
price and possibly a nearby supplier for you.
