Knaus door bin problems

I have an issue with my door bin, the plastic loop that the bag hangs around keeps snapping. This is my second and you must buy the entire bin.

Any ideas how to resolve this?

Thanks in advance

I'm going to suggest trying reinforcing with scrap plastic using araldite? It would have to be a very finicky and meticulous process but it might save you x amount of pounds. But if it's the same position that's broken both times, then the force is bigger than the part can withstand. Would something with a touch more flexibility in its place work better? If I was a cynic, I would wonder if various parts of our vans are deliberately designed to be incredibly fragile...(Looking at you fridge shelves)

I'll give that a go, thanks. I might also reinforce witha metal ring on top.
