Hepl please..
Over the past 2 years I've been unable to get the panniers to lock into position on my 2015 RT. Same mechanism as the 1600.
You drop the pannier in position onto it's 3 locating lugs, then gently close the carry handle which locks into place and locks the pannier into place.
It can only be released by turning the ignition key to the "release" position on the lock, the carry handle then pops up. Lift and carry away the pannier.
That's how it's supposed to work...
However, when fitting the pannier(s) I cannot close the carry handle to lock the pannier in position. I've tapped it gently many times and it used to eventually go down and lock into place.
Now it won't, so I cannot fit the panniers...
Liberal use of WD40 didn't work.
Removal, once they are on, operates normally.
Any ideas please? Apparently dismantling the internals of the pannier results in some swearing and eventually the purchase of a new pannier body.7
Thanks Dave
