Trouble Installing SuperLatch Handles for Yakima SkyBox Cargo Boxes
Updated 12/20/2022 | Published 12/19/2022
Question:
I just received replacement Skybox handles and am finding it very hard to lock. Once side locks, but the last 25 is very hard. The other side will go to about 90 but not to the point where I can remove the key. Im afraid to force it any more for fear of breaking the key off in the lock. What can I do to resolve this?
