Basically, I've got this mechanical mesh I'm making where I need a lid to hinge down to cover the top of a cylinder-ish shape. Images are linked because God only knows I'm not describing this well

This hinge is rigged to the lid. It rotates from a 45 degree tilt to a 90 degree tilt as the lid closes from a 90 degree tilt to a 0 degree one.

See? The bottom part of the hinge extends through the bottom of the mesh. Do you guys know a quick fix?

enter image description here

When I try to make this hinged lid shut, part of the hinge sticks out of the bottom of the mesh. What would you guys recommend I do? If I flat-out shorten the bottom of the hinge arm, then it won't connect correctly and would look like it's floating. If I keep it like it is, the hinge can be seen poking through the bottom. What should I do?

Is there a way to have a mesh extrude or retract itself during an animation while rigging with bones?
