I don't know dude,,, but I know I couldn't hold it that long. I'd be looking for another way out if I were you.

maybe a tooth is off, has broken off
or it didn't go together right

at the bottom there's a cross over stitch or clip
that can removed and replaced sometimes

that is the most frustrating thing in the world

One of my gear bags had the same thing. Silicone spray..

the other thing you can do is..........

[if the top is open] is to pull it apart

all the way to the bottom and sometimes it will pop free

plastic should be salvageable, corroded metal is usually ruined. Soak it for a day or two, and your head too.
