Benjy Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 If it's not latching, load the latches up with WD and work them back and forth with a screwdriver or some pliers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I have been having problems with my latches recently. After giving them a good clean up and smothering them in grease, touch wood they have been fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 spoke to keron in the week , he told me to wd40 the white box that's in between the two catches as theres something in there that can stick , did that but still seemed the same , the pull lever atm is back flush so I think its shut , so ill see what happens later after a few speed bumps . if these aerocatches are fitted do you do away with whats there ?
