If you have a 2009 or newer Yakima Skybox 16, then you can simply use Replacement SuperLatch Handles # Y8880348. If you don't have 2009+ wing-style latch then unfortunately there are no replacement latches for it. Yakima also does not make replacement parts for the internal plastic pieces that you show in the photo.
