I have had 69 GTO's for a quarter century and ever since the beginning worried that that crummy hinge design would let go, for what it is worth, it has never happened to me and you are the first incidence of it I ever came across.
All that to say that there are lots of them outhere and they are not expensive enough to mess with a repair that will never look right when it comes to selling the car.
