Hello everyone,
Today my top box showed some strange resistance when closing. I opened and closed it several times and noticed that when I pressed the lid down, it would close without that resistance. I realized that this part marked in the photo is loose — it’s not fixed like the others — and that’s what’s causing the latch mechanism to resist sliding properly. Before it jams completely, I need to access the mechanisms inside the lid to see why it’s loose and whether I can fix it. Does anyone know how to separate the painted outer shell from the inner part? The only screws I can find are for the backrest and the hinges. Thanks.

Re: Top box latching mechanism
Lots of screws lots of messing but it's fairly easy!
The hardest part I found was removing the pins for the rams!
Sorry can't remember how it all comes apart off the top of my head

Re: Top box latching mechanism
All the tutorials, posts, photos, and videos I find always refer to the bottom half. What I really want is to take apart the lining of the top half. It just won’t come apart no matter what. Do you know if there are screws underneath the seal?
