Had onion stored in glass bowl w/ plastic/ rubber like lid. Now the lid reaks,and yes I’ve soaked it & tried vinegar & soda mix.

put the lid inside some sort of container that you can close. Crunch up a bunch of newsprint, the stuff that is messy and gets all over your hands like a real newspaper and stuff it all in the box with the lid. Put the cover on the container and let it sit for a few days, you can check it out after a few days and add some fresh newsprint as well. It will take the smell out of the plastic, just how long will depend on how bad the smell is.
Put the lid in the sunshine for a couple of days.
Wet the lid and make a thick paste with cool water and salt.. rub with finger tips and cool water/more salt as needed. This trick will also remove onion and garlic odor from your hands- a bonus benefit is it will leave your hands very soft and smooth. Scientifically it's called an ionic exchange since salt has a negative charge - the odors 'stick' to the salt and it gets rinsed down the drain..
Coffee grinds can also remove odors
soak it with lemon or orange juice
