Replacement Lock for a Yakima Skybox Roof Cargo Box
Question:
On a Skybox with port and starboard locking mechanisms is it possible to take apart and swap sides? One works and one doesnt. I believe i pushed the handle to hard when it was frozen and stripped something. Handle now unlocks, moves but wont engage the latches.

Helpful Expert Reply:
Usually this break is related to a pin inside the locking mechanism breaking. You can switch sides by removing the locking mechanism and just switching the parts individually.
However, this does mean that the box is overall less secure. You may want to purchase a lock replacement as part # Y8880348 which will replace both sides.
