Ayup!

Has anyone had any experience of replacing item no.9 (the inverted 'Y'), which secures the topbox to the rack when you push the red lever in on a Vario Topbox before? One of the 'lugs' has sheared off!

If so, is it simply unscrew the base and replace the part or is it a bit more fiddlier than it looks?

Ta!

From my recollection of the Vario panniers they are very simple to take apart and replace parts. I broke a lug when I misjudged a bollard in France on a trip. Sat down with a cup of coffee and screwdriver set and it was finished before my coffee! :D

So from my recollection yes it is that easy!
 
And yet I had a loose screw in mine and when it went in for a service they replaced the box under warranty! Go figure, eh?
 
Ok, thanks.

The dealer wasn't sure it could be replaced until I found this image.
