As previously mentioned, Zippo doesn't make the Z-Plus, so you'd have to take that one up with whomever makes it.
Adam, I started collecting zippo's back in the late 70's while in the Navy and the only time I ever sent one back for repairs was because the hing loosened up and they have always repaired it. One of the things I've always liked about zippo windproofs was their warranty.

"The World Famous Zippo Guarantee"
Zippo Windproof Pocket Lighter
Any Zippo pocket lighter, when returned to our factory, will be put in first-class mechanical condition free of charge, for we have yet to charge a cent for the repair of a Zippo pocket lighter, regardless of age or condition. The finish, however, is not guaranteed.

I humbly stand corrected.

Many years ago, I had simply taken the word of the operator of a B&M on the Zippo warranty and never bothered to verify it for myself.

Now, if I can ever find my old zippo with the bad hinge, I'll send it in.

Thanks.
